BuiltIn User

The builtin user is a user that is defined in the Ektron CMS400.NET setup screen. Primarily, he’s an emergency user if you cannot log in to Ektron CMS400.NET as the administrator.

Note: The builtin user can log in to Ektron CMS400.NET whether or not Active Directory or LDAP is enabled.

Only use the builtin user to correct a bad or expired license key. It is not designed for regular CMS operations. If you try to edit content while signed on as this user, you see errors.

Warning! By default, the builtin user's username and password combination is builtin/builtin. For security reasons, Ektron recommends changing them upon installation.

You cannot access other areas of the CMS.

Editing the BuiltIn User

2. Locate the Built In User field.

3. Change the username and password.
