4.4 Appendix D – The XML Password File

Below you can find an example password file for the SAP HANA installation. All the passwords are written in

plain text in this file.

Observe the following security recommendations:

● Set the access permission of the file as restrictively as possible

● Remove the file immediately after it is no longer used (by default this is performed automatically by

kickstart)

● If a password file is used in a kickstart file, acquire the file over a secure transmission path

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sapadm_password>Agent1234</sapadm_password>

<system_user_password>Sys1234</system_user_password>

<root_password>Root1234</root_password>

</Passwords>

The table below explains which user the password is set for, and what function the user has. Replace the

<sid> with the one you entered during installation.
