Teradata Viewpoint connects to its internal PostgreSQL database using a few different users. The passwords for each of these users are the same on every Viewpoint installation by default. To comply with security best practices, Teradata Viewpoint provides a script that changes these passwords to a random 26-character string and stores the encrypted passwords into a protected file.
- Run the following command on the primary Viewpoint server: /opt/teradata/viewpoint/bin/changedbpasswd.sh
All Teradata Viewpoint services in the Viewpoint cluster are restarted by this script.
