Dear IFS experts,

we have a local installation of IFS APPS 10.

What user do I need to access the following links?

 

Hi ​@Link ,

 

you can use IFS middleware server admin user credentials.

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/040_administration/220_user_interface/430_Admin_Landing_page/default.htm

 

you may refer the following to get more details about these users.

Hi ​@binuriJ 

I have already tested with IFSADMIN user.

But I get the following error message:

 


Hi ​@Link,

Can you refer to the updated reply again... It is IFS Middleware server admin user credentials. Not the IFSADMIN user. These users are configured in the installation itself. So this user typically carries the username,  ‘ifs’.

IFS user which is used to access the Admin console is a pure WebLogic user that is not created in the database like the rest of the application users. Password information(including this user) in the config files(usually the <Instance_Name>_configuration.xml) are encrypted and without knowing the current password you will not be able to reset it.

Moreover, if you do not know that, you will have to create a support issue to get the password reset.

Hi ​@binuriJ 

may I have the path of the config file?

And it is available on the IFS server?

Thank you


Hi ​@Link ,

This can be found inside where your IFS_HOME directory is located for the installed instance.

<ifs_home>/instance/<instance_name>/<instance_name>_configuration.xml

Thank you a lot, ​@binuriJ 

I will have a look and get back to you. 

 


Hi ​@binuriJ 

I’ve found the file and also the user. But I get the same error message and can’t login. 


OK, the password is encrypted. How can I decrypt it? 😁


Hi ​@Link,

The most ethical and the recommended(safest as well) way to do this is to raise an LCS case at IFS for that.

There is an additional script to change these middle tier passwords, but it won’t be useful in your case since to use those scripts, you need to know the existing password of the ‘ifs’ user.(<ifs_home>/instance/<instance_name>/bin/)

In my case the password and username werde issued during the local installation of IFS.

If you are in cloud you have not the access.
