Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Incorporating SYSTEM user password as part of Curam release build for WAS Cluster environment

Currently the OOTB SYSTEM user's password in database does not match the OOTB supplied password for the same user in generated release by default . This causes admins having to reconfigure the password on the EARs as part of the User RunAs Role step as part of every deploy. This is a human error-prone step which has led to locking of the SYSTEM account post-deploy on several occasions

    Hi Harshit,

    In order to evaluate your request we require that you provide more information so that we can fully understand your requirements.

    The request states: "Currently the OOTB SYSTEM user's password in database does not match the OOTB supplied password for the same user in generated release by default."

    If that were correct this would imply Curam would not work in any OOTB deployments. Would a more accurate representation of the request be the following?:

    In a customized environment where the SYSTEM user password has been modified (i.e., from the default syspass) later deployments of rebuilt Curam application EAR files contain the default of syspass, which doesn't match the Curam USERS table in this instance and manual, post-deployment steps are required to achieve a working application. Thus, this request is to make it possible to build Curam application EAR files so they will correspond to the target environment without manual intervention.

    Thank you,
    Shane McFadden, Cúram SPM Product Management team

    Hi Eloise,

    By the OOTB supplied password for the same user - I mean the XOR-ed "password" for "SYSTEM" user in CuramSDEJ\ear\templates\ibm-application-bnd.xml and the password in database in Users table is digest(hash) of "syspass" word.


    Thanks,
    Harsh
