Changing the Admin Password

Encrypting the admin password is discussed in Managing Security of Passwords. Encrypting the admin password is strongly encouraged. If you want to change the admin password before encrypting it, use the asadmin set command. An example of using the set command for this purpose is as follows:

asadmin set --user admin server.jms-service.jms-host.default_JMS_host.admin-password=new_pwd

It is also possible to change the admin password using the Administration Console as in the following procedure.

To change the admin password using the Admin Console, select Configuration node >Instance to configure > Security node > Realms node > admin-realm node and edit the realm page as desired.
