Resetting a Password in Enterprise System Manager

**This should NEVER be given out to a customer**

To reset the password for a user in Enterprise Manager, complete the following steps for Windows or Linux.

<br>

Windows

  1. Stop all six Enterprise Manager services.
  2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  3. cd C:\ProgramFiles\exacqvision\enterprisemanager\enterprisesystemmanager
    Note: EnterpriseSystemManager can be in D:\ Make sure to validate where the EM folder is installed.
  4. Run the command enterprisesystemmanager.exe shell
  5. In the shell, type the following:
    from organization.models import EnterpriseUser
    u = EnterpriseUser.objects.get(username=”admin”)
    u.set_password(“Support.1”)
    u.save()
    import sys
    sys.exit()

    NOTE: It may be necessary to replace the field username=”admin” above with the actual username configured at time of installation, if not using default value. In example: username=”enterpriseadmin
  6. Restart Enterprise Manager services and log into EM with the new password.

<br>

Linux

  1. Stop all six Enterprise Manager services.
  2. To open Enterprise Manager Shell in Linux, open a Terminal window and type: sudo /usr/local/exacq/esm/enterprisesystemmanager shell
  3. In the shell, type the following:
    • from organization.models import EnterpriseUser
    • u = EnterpriseUser.objects.get(username="admin")
    • u.set_password("Support.1")
    • u.save()
    • import sys
    • sys.exit()
    • Exit Terminal and start all six Enterprise Manager Services

      NOTE: It may be necessary to replace the field username=”admin” above with the actual username configured at time of installation, if not using default value. In example: username=”enterpriseadmin

ESM adds server to root group if user has only one group visible

Description

If a user has only one group visible to them, an attempt to add a server to the group will inadvertently add the server to the root group. And hence be invisible to a user if they are not root user.

<br>

Tested version

5.1.9.115770

<br>

Platform

All

<br>

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a sub group to root group (testGroup)
  2. Add a user to that group (testUser)
  3. Log out of ESM, and sign in as testUser
  4. Attempt to add a server to your group (testGroup)

<br>

Expected result

Server should be added and displayed on server list page

<br>

Actual result

Server is added but will not be displayed on testUser’s server list page.

This server will be displayed on the root group’s server list page.

<br>

Workaround

Only Add a server through ESM UI if you have multiple groups visible to you.

You can also add a server through the ESM API no matter how many groups you have visible to you.

Enterprise user names length check on long names fails

Description

Even though the default max user name length on Django base classes is set to 30, ESM code attempts to override it with a max length of 255. However, while actually trying to create user names longer than 30, ESM fails with the database save length check error. For example, this error can be recreated when attempting to login with a LDAP, with ESM trying to create long user name ‘abcdefghijklmno@cfsad.com (domain)’ in the database

<br>

Tested version

4.9.23

<br>

Platform

All

<br>

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to login into ESM from the client’s ‘Synchronize with ESM’ page using a LDAP name that is longer than 25 (will be > 30 by the time ESM appends ‘(domain)’ to the user name).

<br>

Expected result

User login succeeds

<br>

Actual result

User login fails with a client pop up “Please check your URL”.

<br>

Workaround

None

LDAP user First time logging in from client to ESM results in Error

Description

From the client’s “Synchronize with ESM” page, using an LDAP username and password results in ‘Check your URL’ error. This happens even though the LDAP domain and group associations (with ESM access) is correctly configured on ESM.

<br>

Tested version

4.8.2

<br>

Platform

All

<br>

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a domain and associations on ESM with “ESM access” enabled
  • From client’s “Synchronize with ESM” page, use a username and password belonging to the LDAP domain
  • Click Apply

<br>

Expected result

The client shows ‘Connected’ and downloads the server list from ESM.

<br>

Actual result

The client shows ‘Check your URL’ error message dialog box.

<br>

Work around

The work around is to attempt the same action twice from the client. The client does not enable the ‘Apply’ button unless one of the parameters changes. So in order to attempt the same action again, the user will have to modify one of the parameters and revert it back.

Another option is to login to ESM using the same credentials and then attempt to do the sync action from client.

ESM server edit form displays “DDNS request error 428: No changes to be made”

Description

When enabling dynamic dns without supplying a hostname on server edit form, “DDNS request error 428: No changes to be made” will be displayed below the hostname field.
This will only happen on outbound server connections, if the server already has an address and mac.

<br>

Version introduced

4.7.12.109795

<br>

Platforms

All Platforms

<br>

Steps to reproduce

  • Add outbound server to ESM
  • Edit server enabling dynamic DNS without providing a hostname (this will attempt to create an A name on exacqio)

<br>

Expected result

  • If the server has a mac and IP addresses, hostname should be requested from exacqio (defaulting to e + Mac), and server edit form apply should succeed.
  • I server doesn’t have a mac and IP addresses, server dynamic DNS should show to be enabled, but hostname will be requested when server connects.

<br>

Actual result

  • If server has mac and ip address DDNS request error 428: No changes to be made is displayed and server edit form submit fails
    • NOTE: if hostname is provided, this error will not be displayed. but the requested hostname will not work, at least until the server connection is reset.
  • If server does not have mac and IP address, there is no attempt to request for a hostname from exacqio, hence no error

<br>

Work around

There is no feasible workaround for exacq cloud. Otherwise enable dynamic DNS when adding a server
