Customize OPSWAT MetaDefender AMI from Marketplace

Default username and password is admin/<instance-ID>

• “admin” is an unacceptable password. Whenever the end-user changes the password to “admin”, it will automatically change the password to <instance-ID> after the Instance is rebooted.

To create custom AMI from OPSWAT AMI, some mandatory things need to be noted before converting:

1. ( Required ) Deactivate the MetaDefender Core license in the EC2 instance from where the new AMI will be created.

2. ( Required ) Not to add any parameters during the creation process.

3. ( Optional ) Change MD Core password.

   • If the end-user changes the password to “admin”, their default password after creating a custom AMI will be <instance-ID>

   • If the end-user does NOT change the Core UI password, it will be the default password in the original instance (instance-id) for all the new instances that uses the custom AMI.
