Recover deploy_admin password

[EricSchwartz]

I forgot my deploy_admin password and needed the best solution to recovering it. I am running version 11.7.1.2

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

As root, you can run the following command, then echo out or use the variable.
deploy_admin_password=$(security-cli-client --get-config-prop --prop-hierarchy nw.security-client --prop-name platform.deployment.password --quiet)

Good luck.

on the Admin Server (as root) run:
security-cli-client --get-config-prop --prop-hierarchy nw.security-client --prop-name platform.deployment.password --quiet

this will display the deploy_admin password
