Chapter 11 Miscellaneous Administrative Tasks

Changing the MTA Postmaster Address

In versions 5.1 and later, this is /var/lib/reactivity/console_documents/cluster<cluster_id>/filestore Where <cluster_id> is a unique string that identifies the cluster internally.

Note For information on determining the cluster ID, see “Understanding Configuration Data” section on page 13-89.

Replace the contents of the file 00/00/000000000003.00000000 with the text below.

<object type="user"> <AccessControlRole>true</AccessControlRole> <ActiveGroupID>

<ID>0000000000000004</ID>

</ActiveGroupID>

<ConsoleAdminRole>true</ConsoleAdminRole>

<ExternalDeveloperRole>true</ExternalDeveloperRole>

<FailedLoginCount>0</FailedLoginCount>

<HashedPassword>mcVyzSCfpKjxx4W9KugFFPYPSB8=</HashedPassword>

<IsDisabled>false</IsDisabled>

<IsOperator>true</IsOperator>

<MessageTrafficLogRole>true</MessageTrafficLogRole>

<OperationsRole>true</OperationsRole>

<PolicyViewRole>true</PolicyViewRole>

<RoutingRole>true</RoutingRole>

<Username>administrator</Username>

</object>

This resets the administrator password to the factory default.

Step 3 Start up the ACE XML Manager process.

Step 4 Log in to the web console as user administrator with password swordfish. Be sure to change the administrator password from the factory default after logging in.

Changing the MTA Postmaster Address

The ACE XML Gateway can receive SMTP traffic for certain types of services. Specifically, it can process and validate ebXML content passed as email attachments. To use ebXML service processing at the gateway, you configure an ebXML-based service definition in the Manager web console.

Note The Gateway's SMTP server never acts as a relay. It accepts incoming messages only for local addresses and it accepts outgoing messages only from the gateway. Periodically, the SMTP server attempts to resend messages that suffered transient failures. The MTA does not support SMTP over SSL or TLS within SMTP.

If an ebXML service is added to the policy, the appliance opens port 25 to handle SMTP traffic. Thereafter, it’s possible for the ACE XML Gateway MTA to receive email in its postmaster mailbox.

The postmaster address is a standard administrative address for MTA’s (as required by the SMTP protocol). It does not affect incoming or outgoing gateway traffic.

If desired, you can modify the address so that mail to the postmaster is sent to another location, or keep the default, in which case the postmaster mailbox is the root user’s mailbox on the ACE XML Gateway.

To change the existing address:
