Retrieving database connection details for microfocus ucmdb.

To confirm or examine the connection details between micro focus universal cmdb (ucmdb) and its externally hosted database, you can refer to the configuration file on the ucmdb server. Follow the steps below:

Configuration for Database Connection

Access the ucmdb server:

Connect to the server where ucmdb is installed, either through remote desktop or terminal, based on your specific setup.

Go to the directory that contains the settings for your device:

Find the ucmdb installation directory, then navigate to the following path:

<UCMDB_Installation_Directory>\UCMDBServer\conf\

 

Edit:

The installation directory for the ucmdb server is located at \ucmdbserver\conf\

Open the configuration file:

In the directory named conf, find the file called cmdb.Conf.

To access this file, you can use a text editor like notepad++ or any other editor that can read configuration files.

Within the cmdb.Conf file, you will discover entries pertaining to the database connection. Typical configuration parameters include:

CmdbMasterKey=:

DalDatamodelDbName=yourdatabasename:

DalDatamodelDbType=sqlserver:

DalDatamodelHostName=yourdatabasehost:

DalDatamodelPassword=encryptedpassword:

DalDatamodelPort=1433:

DalDatamodelUserName=databaseuser:

These settings provide key details such as:

Database name.

The type of database (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle).

The name of the server where the external database is hosted.

Connection Port.

Decrypted password.

Summary of Our Findings:

The cmdb.Conf file contains confidential data. Avoid making any manual alterations to the contents, as any mistakes can interfere with the connection between ucmdb and the database.

It is highly recommended to create a backup copy of the file before viewing or accessing it for future reference.

Password management: the password in the configuration is encoded. If a change is required, it should be implemented using official ucmdb administration tools or configuration wizards to guarantee the encryption remains intact.

If you need additional help understanding the configuration or making secure changes, reach out to your system administrator or consult the micro focus ucmdb documentation.
