How to secure the Performance Analysis client GUI and prevent users from easily connecting to specific instances?
Resolution
Change the default PA agent user's password:
Go To Start | All Programs | Quest Software | Performance Analysis | Agent Administration | Agent Users Manager
Connect to the instance you want to secure
Click Edit on the ‘quest’ default user
Change the default password ‘quest’ to something else (e.g. quest123). Then press OK and Close.
Now Open Support Utilities - Start | All Programs | Quest Software | Performance Analysis | Agent Administration | Support Utilities
Now Connect to the instance and click Properties | Uncheck the “Use default agent authentication” box | Change the password to the new password | Uncheck the “Save password details” box
Press Connect | Click Verify Accounts
Press the Verify Accounts button and when prompted to enter the password, enter the new password
Ensure that the Verify Accounts completes successfully.
Now connect to the PA GUI and ensure you are able to view the data. So from now on, every time you try to connect to that instance, you are required to enter the password.
