Changing an RC2-Encrypted Password in the Siebel Management Framework

The following procedure describes how to change an RC2-encrypted password in the Siebel Management Framework.

To change an RC2-encrypted 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.Decoder MGTINSTALL_ROOT\security rc2_key_file_name new_password -write-properties

   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
   • rc2_key_file_name is the location of the RC2 key file
   • new_password is the new password that you specified in Step 1

     This updates the Siebel user account password that is used to access the Siebel Management Server or the Siebel Management Agent.

4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for all installed instances of the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agents.
5. Restart the Siebel Management Server or Siebel Management Agent. For details, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
