Username and Password for Event Loader-to-MongoDB Instance Communication

When configuring MATRIXX Engine, you run the create_config.py script and input information as prompted by the questions posed by the script. You are prompted to enter the username that Event Loader uses for connecting to the Event Repository and the associated password. You enter a strong password (unencrypted) and then MATRIXX sets your password in encrypted form in the create_config.info file and the mtx_config.xml file. Your username and password combination is set on all servers in your topology. Event Loader uses the username and password combination for connecting to the Event Repository. If you must change the password after it is set on all servers, see the discussion about resetting the MongoDB Password used by Event Loader.

Username and Password for Connecting to a MongoDB Instance

When authorization is enabled on your MongoDB system, every connection to a mongod instance requires a username and a password with the appropriate access privileges. As a system administrator, when you run any of the Event Repository administration scripts, you are required to enter a username and password. For information about setting user account credentials for running the administration scripts, see the discussion about setting user credentials for Event Repository administration scripts.
