Changing Encrypted Passwords Using the Siebel Management Console

Using the Siebel Management Console to change an anonymous user password automatically saves the password in encrypted form.

Although the anonymous user has limited privileges, it is generally recommended to use more secure passwords for production deployments of your Siebel Business Applications. For anonymous user accounts, changing passwords involves changing passwords for database accounts and changing passwords in the Siebel Application Interface profile.

Note: If you want to use different database accounts for the anonymous user for different applications, then you must manually update the Siebel Application Interface profile.

The following procedure describes how to change an encrypted password using the Siebel Management Console.
