Change WebSphere user password on RAFW


Laura Venturini (661138) | asked May 24 '10, 10:41 a.m.
Hi,
I've a question related to the changes of password for an environment generated via RAFW Wizard.
During the generation wizard, I've specified the username and password of the user under which WebSphere App Server will run, but then I realized that the password was not correct. I've seen that the user and password are written into the configure.properties (inside environments/cells..) but it's not clear how to change and crypt the new password...
I've found a technote related to user and password, but it's not clear how to re-crypt the password

Thanks
Laura

Running any action that loads that file will automatically encrypt the clear text password. For the cell level configure.properties any action will load that file (unless you've overridden the value at the node level). Short answer, run any RAFW action and it will encrypt that password.

I found that I needed to run the following action to encrypt the password:

rafw -e <env> -c <cell> -t rafw_encode_password
