How to secure the Performance Analysis client GUI and prevent users from easily connecting to specific instances?

Change the default PA agent user's password:

1. Go To Start | All Programs | Quest Software | Performance Analysis | Agent Administration | Agent Users Manager
2. Connect to the instance you want to secure
3. Click Edit on the ‘quest’ default user
4. Change the default password ‘quest’ to something else (e.g. quest123). Then press OK and Close.
5. Now Open Support Utilities - Start | All Programs | Quest Software | Performance Analysis | Agent Administration | Support Utilities
6. 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
7. Press Connect | Click Verify Accounts
8. Press the Verify Accounts button and when prompted to enter the password, enter the new password
9. Ensure that the Verify Accounts completes successfully.
10. 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.
