Changing a Nonencrypted Password in the Siebel Management Framework

The following procedure describes how to change a password that is not encrypted in the Siebel Management Framework.

To change a nonencrypted password in the Siebel Management Framework

1. Change the Siebel user account password. If you are changing the Siebel administrator password, then see Changing System Administrator Passwords on Microsoft Windows or Changing the Siebel Administrator Password on UNIX.
2. Stop the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agent for which you are going to change the password.
3. Open a command window and execute the following command:

   JRE_HOME\bin\java -cp MGTINSTALL_ROOT\lib\siebelmgr.jar com.siebel.management.util.Base64 newPassword

   where:

   • JRE_HOME is the location of the JRE home directory.
   • MGTINSTALL_ROOT is the installation directory for the Siebel Management Server or the Siebel Management Agent.
   • newPassword is the plaintext of the password that you created in Step 1.

     This command converts the plaintext of the password to Base64 encoding.

4. Save the output of Step 3.
5. Stop the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agent for which you are going to change the password. For details, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
6. Navigate to the MGTINSTALL_ROOT\security directory, where MGTINSTALL_ROOT is the installation directory of the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agent.
7. Open the security.properties file and change the value of the com.siebel.management.security.password parameter to the value that you saved in Step 4.
8. Save and close security.properties file.
9. Repeat Step 5 to Step 8 for all installed instances of the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agents.
10. Restart the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agent.
