How to Change the Console's Internal Passwords

The passwords are known as the administrative password, keystore password, and truststore password. You do not need to know the default initial values in order to change the passwords. This procedure explains how to change all three passwords with separate commands.

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Change the administrative password.

   # wcadmin password -a

   You are prompted to enter the new password twice. The password should be 8 to 32 characters.

3. Change the key store password.

   # wcadmin password -k

   You are prompted to enter the new password twice. The password should be 8 to 32 characters.

4. Change the trust store password.

   # wcadmin password -t

   You are prompted to enter the new password twice. The password should be 8 to 32 characters.
