Changing Authentication for Replication Manager

To log on to the parent node, Replication Manager uses the user name and password of the administrator. When logging on, it authenticates with the parent node according to the Authentication Method that you set in the Synchronization Manager server component of the parent node. The parent node is usually the headquarters node.

The regional application servers and srvrinit use the administrator login. It is recommended that you use the same administrator user name and password on the headquarters database and on the regional databases.

To change authentication for Replication Manager

1. Change the password according to the Authentication Method.

   For example, if the Authentication Method is set to Database, then changing the password in the server database of the parent node requires changing the same password on the regional node. For more information, see Parameters of the Synchronization Manager Server Component, see Siebel Security Guide.

2. To change the password, use the Siebel Server on the regional node:
   1. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, Enterprises, and then the Parameters view.
   2. In the Enterprise Parameters list, query the Parameter field for Password.
   3. Enter an appropriate value in the Value field.
   4. Stop the Siebel application services.

      For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

   5. Restart the Siebel application services.

      After the services restart, the changes take effect. For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.
