Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Name

changedbpassword — This script changes the OpsCenter database password. This is supported only for DBA user and not for guest and server passwords.

SYNOPSIS

changedbpassword | [-h|-?|--help]

DESCRIPTION

Sybase SQL Anywhere database management system is used to store the OpsCenter data. You require a user name and a password to access the database. The following database user account is shipped with OpsCenter:

DBA

The database administrator account. The DBA account is required by the database queries that are used to update the database schema or upgrade to a new product version.

When the tool changes the DBA password, it updates a configuration file on the file system so that the server can still access the database. The password is encrypted before it is stored in the configuration file. However, since the server needs to retrieve the password it cannot be stored with a one-way hash. Thus, someone can obtain the password. When the tool is run, the system administrator is advised to check the permissions on the configuration file to ensure that only an administrator can read the file.

OPTIONS

--h|-?|--help

Shows the command-line usage statement and exits.

NOTES

Enter the following command to change the database password on Windows:

INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\changedbpassword.bat

Enter the following command to change the database password on UNIX:

<INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/changedbpassword.sh

You are prompted to enter the OpsCenter Administrator's password and the new password that you want to set.
