Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications > Configuring for Security: Overview >

Changing Default Passwords

---

The Siebel installer and the seed data provided with Siebel Server and Siebel eBusiness Applications create several default accounts on your site. These accounts are used to manage and maintain your Siebel network. To safeguard the security of your site, make sure you change the default passwords for these accounts.

Before you change default passwords, review the following points:

The Password and Confirm Password fields described in this section are unavailable in the Siebel application if you are using database authentication. If you are using LDAP or ADSI, the availability of these fields depends on whether the underlying security mechanism allows this functionality.
The procedures in this section describe changing passwords at the Enterprise level. If you set and change passwords at this level, the changes will cascade down to the Component level.

However, if you set a password parameter at the Component level, from that point forward, this password can be changed only for this component. Changing it at the Enterprise level will not cause the new password to cascade to this component, unless the override is deleted at the Component level.

For more information, refer to Siebel Server Administration Guide.

The following sections include procedures for changing account passwords. Figure 3 shows the Password parameter in Enterprise Parameters.
