Managing Security and Authentication

---

Replication Manager uses the administrator's user name and password to log on to the Parent node. During this process, it authenticates against its parent node, usually the HQ node. It does this according to the Authentication Method set in the Synchronization Manager Component of the parent node. For more information about the Authentication Method parameter, see Table 8.

It is recommended that the administrator user name and password be the same on the HQ database and the regional databases. The Regional Application Servers and srvrinit use the administrator database login.

To change the administrator password

Change the password according to the Authentication Method.

For example, if the Authentication Method is set to Database, changing the password in the database on the Parent node requires changing the same password on the Regional Node. For information about this topic, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

Change the password by using the Siebel Application Server on the Regional node.
From the application-level menu, select View > Site Map >Server Administration> Enterprise Configuration.
From the Show drop-down list, select Enterprise Parameters.
In the Enterprise Parameters list, enter an appropriate value for the Password parameter.
Stop the Siebel application services.

For more information on how to stop and start Siebel services, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.

Restart the Siebel application services for the changes to take effect.
