Changing the PFDBAdmin password

Note: When you install the InForm software on a production server, Oracle strongly suggests that you change the default InForm passwords. You can change this password on this window during the installation, or manually either before or after installing.

To run the InFormPrepORA.exe script manually and register the new password:

  1. Open a command prompt window.
  2. There are three options to run InFormPrepORA.exe.

    InFormPrepORA.exe <DBInstance> <SysPID> <SysUID> <PFAdminUID> <PFAdminPID>

    InFormPrepORA.exe <DBInstance> /accountparams:<filename>

    InFormPrepORA.exe <DBInstance> /prompt

    Where:

    • <DBInstance>—Oracle Database Instance TNS name (for example, autoathena_dev1).
    • <SysPID> <SysUID>—Oracle Sys User Password and ID.
    • <PFAdminUID> <PFAdminPID>—InForm PFAdmin User ID and Password.
    • /accountparams:<filename>—Optionally enclosed in quotes, filename is the name of a file containing the required account credentials.

      The account parameter file format is:

      • /prompt Prompt for required account credentials.

      The account parameters file consists of the following key=value pairs:

      • PfAdminUID=<UID>
      • PfAdminPID=<PID>
      • SysUID=<UID>
      • SysPID=<PID>
  3. Enter the following command to put the new password in the Registry:

    pfadmin config service /sysdba PFDBAdmin_userid PFDBAdmin_userpid
