Security issue when using Java GUI and default cluster admin credentials

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
While configuring the cluster using the VCS Cluster Configuration Wizard (VCW) if you do not choose the secure mode (Use Single Sign-on option) on the Configure Security Service Option panel, VCW creates a user with user name as admin and password as password. The user credentials are auto-populated in the respective fields, by default. This user has administrative privileges to the cluster.
Arctera recommends that you create a different user instead of accepting the default values.(1188218)
