3parbrowse and 3paredit accounts

Does anyone know what the 3parbrowse and 3paredit accounts are used for? The SP User Guide says the passwords are randomly generated and that they're not used at all...so why are they there to begin with?

Not sure why they include some pre-created accounts with the unit. They have been doing that for a very long time, long before HP bought 3PAR. Per the doc - you can delete them, if you need them back you can create new accounts with cooler names than that! Most people use LDAP anyway, but for things to run from the internal 3PAR scheduler, it must be a local account.

That's interesting as the best practices document says the opposite. These accounts are required and should not be deleted:

Do not change the password or remove the accounts for the “3parsvc,” “3parservice,” “3paredit,” or “3parbrowse” users. These are randomly generated at the time of the initialization of the system and are required for communication between the service processor and the HPE 3PAR StoreServ system.

The first doc is about the service processor, and looks to contain more specific details than the best practices guide does. Both docs agree with regards to 3parsvc and 3parservice, leaving 3paredit and 3parbrowse in contention. In a situation like this, I would go with the better detailed documentation.

However when in doubt, call support.

You can provide feedback on the document here - what can we do to improve this documents? I sent the link to this thread.
