4.2 Changing the Oracle VM Manager User Password

The Oracle VM Manager user lets you log in to the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface. The default username is admin. You set the password for this user when you install Oracle VM Manager. By default, the Oracle VM Manager user has the same password as the OracleSystemUser and the weblogic users. To secure your environment, you should change the password for the Oracle VM Manager user if you intend to share the Oracle VM Manager user credentials.

To change the password for the Oracle VM Manager user, do the following:

  1. Start an ssh session to the Oracle VM Manager host computer as the root user.

  2. Change to the following directory: /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/bin

  3. Run the following command: # ./ovm_admin --modifyuser

  4. Follow the prompts to change the user password.

This procedure involves using the Oracle VM Manager Administrator Tool to modify the user password. Refer to Section 3.1, “Oracle VM Manager Administrator Tool (ovm_admin)” for more information about the Administrator Tool. For an example of changing user passwords, see Section 3.1.4, “Changing User Passwords”.
