To change passwords

To change your trust database/key-pair file password for the Administration Server or an server instance, perform the following steps:

1. Access either the Administration Server or the Server Manager.

   From the Server Manager you must first select the server instance from the drop-down list.

2. Select the Change Password link.

3. Select the security token for which you want to change the password from the drop-down list.

   By default this is 'internal’ for the internal key database. If you have PKCS#11 modules installed, you see all the tokens listed. Click the Change Password link.

4. Enter the current password.

5. Enter the new password.

6. Renter the new password.

7. Click OK.

8. From the Server Manager, click Apply, and then Restart for changes to take effect

   Make sure your key-pair file is protected. The Administration Server stores key-pair files in the directory server_root/alias. Consider making the files and directory readable only to Sun Java System servers installed on your computer.

   It is also important find out if the file is stored on backup tapes or is otherwise available for someone to intercept. If as, you must protect your backups as completely as your server.
