Hello Just to clarify, which password are you referring to? The RRC connection password or one used for the jfsuser or DB2, etc? If you're referring to your own RRC connection password, then it depends. Are you using LDAP? If so, you'll have to change the password through your normal LDAP mechanisms. If you are not, then your password actually just matches your userid and can't (currently) be changed. |

It doesn't make sense that user can't change their password by themself, and it violates their company's security policy which the password is the same as user ID. How can I do? Thanks in advance. |

LDAP is the only current method which allows for actual password support.

LDAP is the only current method which allows for actual password support. Understood,tks. There is a workaround. In Jazz, you will notice that one can change password when the user has the JazzAdmin rights. Hence you may wish to do the following steps: - Assuming user account is "UserA" - Modify the "UserA" with "JazzAdmin" Repository Permission right. - Login with the username, "UserA" and password, "UserA". - In the User Management, select "UserA". - You shall see the "Change Password" enabled. - Clicked on the "Change password" button and enter with the changed password. - Then disable the "JazzAdmin" Repository Permission right and assign with the rightful rights of "UserA". May the above help. Cheers, Kathleen |

If you are using Tomcat a user can change both their own image and password.
They can log onto the Jazz admin website - https://<host>:<port>/jazz/admin (without ADMIN privileges) and they will see their name in the top right hand corner. To the right of there name is a small pull-down menu - often difficult to spot. Select the menu button and they should be presented with "Edit Profile" menu option. Clicking this will present the user with their profile web page and they should be able to change both their image and password. |
