Understand DMP User Accounts and Passwords
You use the Web Account when you log in to DMPDM itself.
In contrast, the Service Account is a user account with FTP and SFTP login privileges. It is available only
on DMPs whose FTP service is enabled.
Note Unless or until you change these passwords individually, they are both identical to the master password that you
configured in the “Log in to DMPDM” section on page 29. You can change them when they should differ. However, they will
become identical again in the future if you edit the master password.

Scenario Best Practice
You have very few DMPs and will
manage each of them in isolation.
Use DMPDM to change their DMP Web Account and DMP Service Account passwords
one at a time, manually.
You have many DMPs and will
manage them centrally.
Use the fully licensed Cisco Digital Signs software on your Digital Media Manager
appliance to change both passwords globally for all of the DMPs that you have added to
a DMP group.
Note Before you can manage any DMP centrally, you must configure it to support
centralized management.
