At the platform daemon authentication step (Figure 19), you specify platform login credentials (user name and password) for this JACE. See Platform daemon credentials for default values.
Figure 19 reflects “factory default” platform credentials—which you should always change. See the Caution below for details, and if using AX-3.8, see Platform credentials notes for AX-3.8.
To specify the platform daemon authentication
Be sure to change default platform credentials (user name=tridium, password=niagara). Consider the platform daemon as the highest-level access to the JACE. Furthermore, make careful note of your entries. If you lose or forget these credentials, you may be unable to complete the commissioning and startup of this JACE. In this
case, you can restore platform credentials to factory defaults, providing you can serially connect to the JACE (make serial
shell connection)— pressing a key at the prompted time during JACE boot up. See About JACE serial shell mode.
To specify the platform daemon authentication, do the following:
User name and password entries are case sensitive.
-
In the User Name field, type in the desired user name for platform login.
User Name can be a maximum of 14 alphanumeric characters (
a-z,A-Z,0-9), where the first character must be alphabetic, and following characters either alphanumeric or underscore (_). -
In the Password fields, type in the desired password (it must match in both password fields).
Password can be any desired length and mix of characters. Entry characters display only in asterisks (*).
A “strong password” is highly recommended. Some basic guidelines on strong passwords:
-
Use both upper and lower case.
-
Include numeric digits.
-
Include special characters.
-
Don’t use dictionary words.
-
Don’t use company name.
-
Don’t make the same as the user name.
-
Don’t use common numbers like telephone, address, birthday, and so on.
