How to Unlock a Denodo Administrator User in a Container Environment
You can translate the document:

In Denodo Virtual DataPort (VDP), a recovery user can be created to gain access to the VDP server if, for example, all administrator users have been locked or their password forgotten. To achieve this, the property userRecoveryOnStartup must be manually added to the VDP server configuration file <DENODO_HOME>/conf/vdp/VDBConfiguration.properties and the server restarted.
userRecoveryOnStartup=<recovery_user_password> |
In a container environment this approach might not be valid because the modifications performed in the instance files are not persisted. Instead, a script to add the property could be placed under /container-entrypoint-preinit which will be mounted as a volume and executed when the container starts.
To create the recovery user in a container environment follow this steps:
- Create a script called enableRecoveryUser.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash echo "userRecoveryOnStartup=<recovery_user_password>" >> "$DENODO_CONF_DIR/vdp/VDBConfiguration.properties" |
- Run the container with a volume, for example if using Docker:
docker run -d -h denodo-vdpserver -p 9999:9999 -p 9997:9997 -p 9996:9996 -p 9995:9995 -p 9090:9090 -p 9098:9098 -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -v /<path_to_license>/denodo.lic:/opt/denodo/conf/denodo.lic -v /<path_to_script>/enableRecoveryUser.sh:/container-entrypoint-preinit/enableRecoveryUser.sh --name denodo-vdpserver <image> --vdpserver |
- Log in with the recovery user denodo_recovery_user and with the password entered in the script and unlock an administrator account.
- Remove the script enableRecoveryUser.sh.
