  • 1.  Guardium version 12.1 cannot login GUI with accessmgr account with default password

    Posted Thu June 05, 2025 10:52 AM

    At Guardium version 12.1, I cannot log into the GUI using the accessmgr account with the default password guardium (the accessmgr account is not locked). May I ask if the default password for the accessmgr account is different in version 12.1? Alternatively, can I assign the accessmgr role to the admin account to configure users and LDAP instead?

    Hi @Duc Tran Anh,

    Is this a cloud or on-premise vm appliance? 

    You cannot assign the accessmgr role to the admin account and you cannot grant accessmgr role and admin role to the same user.

    Thank you for the information, Wendy. I am using an on-premise VM appliance running Guardium 12.1. I don't know why I cannot log in with the accessmgr account. I am currently using the cli account via SSH and the admin account via the GUI. I need to configure additional users and integrate LDAP, but I don't know how to access the accessmgr account.

    What you provided is the correct default password for an on-premise VM appliance. Unfortunately if you lose your accessmgr password you need to open an IBM support case and they will assist you to regain access. They'll ask you for the passkey which you can obtain from cli command: support show passkey accessmgr.

    Thank you, Wendy. I have opened a case with IBM support and successfully reset the accessmgr password.
