When Apigee Edge Private Cloud is installed, a special sysadmin user is created. This user's email address (user ID) is stored in a few key places in the system configuration and it is used for administrative actions such as creating additional users and executing system-level scripts. If you want to change the email address of the system user, the following steps are required:
1) Update the sysadmin email address in the LDAP user directory.
2) Update the sysadmin email address in the Apigee environment settings file.
3) Update the sysadmin email address in the Apigee Enterprise UI configuration file.
First, update the existing sysadmin user with a new email address using the following curl command on the management server:
> curl -iu <current_sysadmin_email> 'http://localhost:8080/v1/users/<current_sysadmin_email>' -X PUT -d '{"emailId": "<new_sysadmin_email>", "lastName": "admin", "firstName": "admin"}' -H content-type:application/json
If you want to use an entirely separate user instead of changing the existing sysadmin user, simply ensure that the new user is assigned to the global sysadmin role:
> curl -iu <current_sysadmin_email> 'http://n1:8080/v1/userroles/sysadmin/users' -X POST -d 'id=<new_sysadmin_email>'
Next, update the stored sysadmin email in the environment settings file on every Apigee host. In apigee4/bin/apigee-env.sh, change the ADMIN_EMAIL variable to your desired value. Ensure that the update is made across the entire cluster.
Finally, run the apigee4/bin/chpasswd-system.sh script on every Enterprise UI host to store the new user ID in your Enterprise UI configuration. This script will pull the new sysadmin email address from apigee-env.sh, update the UI configuration and restart the UI service.
For additional details, reference the section "Adding a system administrator" in the Private Cloud Operations Guide.
