How do you regain access to RPE Document Builder admin page?


Simon Liu (11) | asked Aug 10 '17, 4:31 p.m.

You can get locked out of the Rational Publish Engine Document Builder admin page when you switch to JTS authentication but forget to add a user to the RPE_WEB_ADMIN_USERS property before doing so, or lost the admin user id/password.

Your DBA can set the admin username in the RPE database.

UPDATE RUNTIMEVARIABLES SET VALUE = 'username' WHERE
PARAMETER='RPE_WEB_ADMIN_USERS'

You could also set java or env variable and restart the server. Once the issue is resolved, remove the override variable.

OVERRIDE_RPE_WEB_ADMIN_USERS=users(comma separated)

With RPE 2.1.2, JTS roles are auto mapped to RPE roles. Check out the below link for details.
