Change admin login username

Post by Joseph99N » Sat Nov 04, 2017 6:30 pm

There's a standard way to shell into the Access Server, and it uses a standard username that is, I think, dependent on the system. That seems somewhat of a security weakness, but I cannot find how to rename (or add/delete) the admin login u/n. My installation is within a VPC on AWS. I have no trouble getting in, but I'd like to use a different username to do so. Can someone point me to a resource on how to do this? Or else explain why it's not worth the effort? Thanks.
