Password for accessing the database of Agent for vCloud

policy prescribes regular password changes.

To change the password

1. On the machine with Agent for vCloud, run the following commands:

su postgres
psql
ALTER USER vcda_db_user WITH PASSWORD '';
\q
exit

2. Run the configure.sh command and choose the Change agent configuration scenario.
3. Choose Configure access to local agent database.
4. Specify the new password.

1.3.9 Checking network connections

Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud components use TCP ports to communicate with VMware
vCloud components and with each other. Make sure that your firewalls and other components of
your network security system allow connections through these ports.

The diagram below illustrates the network connections that are necessary for the backup service to
function.

The arrow direction shows which component initiates a connection. The text shows the destination
port. The source port is taken from a standard range, depending on the operating system:



Agent for vCloud and Agent for VMware use the range 32768–61000.
