Security Considerations
Neoview User Roles and IDs
Your Neoview system is delivered with three preconfigured user roles and user IDs:
Default PasswordUser IDRole
hp4BAdmnROLE.MGRMGR
hp4BinfoROLE.DBADBA
hp4BinfoROLE.USERUSER
You should use the ROLE.MGR user ID to set up user IDs on your system as described under
“User IDs” (page 21).
CAUTION: For your system’s security, change these passwords as soon as you receive your
system.
To change a password, follow the procedures under “Changing the Password and Expiration
Date of a Role” (page 23).
