Update Role Credentials and Passwords

The passwords and credentials of the roles admin, secadmin, and oper must be updated in the new NIS+ domain using the User Manager.

1. Log in as install and assume the root role.

   See "To Log In as the User Install" if you are unsure of the steps.

2. Open the User Manager using the NIS+ naming service.

   For a more detailed step through the procedure, see "To Open and Modify a Solstice_Apps Database".

   Trusted Solaris administrative roles and their IDs are listed in the window. These were created from the tsoluser file when you ran the nispopulate command in "To Set Up NIS+ with Databases from the Staging Area".

3. Give each role a new password.

   If a detailed procedure would be helpful, see "To Modify the Password for a Role or User Account".

   Note -

   To ensure that someone can always log in, use the status Always Open for the secadmin role, and for the user who can assume the secadmin role.
