Changing the Password for an Agent Profile

After you install the agent, you can change the agent profile password, if required for your deployment.

To Change the Password for an Agent Profile

1. On the OpenSSO Enterprise server:

   1. Login into the Administration Console as amAdmin.

   2. Click Access Control, realm-name, Agents, J2EE, and then the name of the agent profile you want to update.

      The Console displays the Edit page for the agent profile.

   3. Enter and confirm the new unencrypted password.

   4. Click Save.

2. On the server where the Application Server and GlassFish agent is installed:

   1. In the agent profile password file, replace the old password with the new unencrypted password.

   2. Change to the PolicyAgent-base/bin directory.

   3. Encrypt the new password using the agentadmin --encrypt command following this syntax.

      agentadmin --encrypt agent-instance password-file

      For example:

      # ./agentadmin --encrypt Agent_001 /export/temp/as9agentpw

      The agentadmin --encrypt command returns the new encrypted password. For example:

      ASEWEJIowNBJHTv1UGD324kmT==

   4. In the agent-instance/config/OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties file, set the following property to the new encrypted password from the previous step. For example:

      com.iplanet.am.service.secret=ASEWEJIowNBJHTv1UGD324kmT==

   5. Restart the Application Server or GlassFish instance that is being protected by the policy agent.
