Password Requirements
Due to browser incompatibilities, Splunk AppDynamics recommends using only ASCII characters for usernames, account names, and passwords.
Configure your installation using these password settings:
| GUI Mode Screen or Option Label | Response File variable | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Database Root User's Password | mysqlRootUserPassword
|
The password of the user account that the Controller uses to access its MySQL database. Do not use the single quotation mark ('), double quotation mark ("), or at sign (@) characters in this password. |
| Controller root User's Password | rootUserPassword
| The Controller root user password. The root user is a Controller user account with privileges for accessing the system Administration Console. Allowed characters in the password are: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ., +, =, @, _, -, $, :, #, ,, (, ), !, {, }. |
| User Name (Admin User Setup) | userName
| The username of the administrator account in the Controller UI. This is the administrator for the built-in account if single-tenant systems, or for the initial account for multi-tenant. See Update the Root User Password. Usernames and passwords cannot include the @ or ! character. Also note that if this account will be used to access the REST API, additional limitations on the use of special characters in usernames apply. See Create and Manage Tenant Users. |
In the password field, you may include the space character at the beginning as well as in the middle of the password string. However, you cannot start passwords with the space character when using the response.varfile.
