Question
How to update the credential information that is used to connect to the DSM repository database?
Cause
Common scenarios:
- The user ID and password were changed by the administrator of the Operating System.
- DSM shows invalid userid/password or invalid credentials error information when connecting to the repository database. For example, you will notice the similar error information in the dsserver.log file.
Answer
Use the upddbcredential command in the <DSM_install>/dsutil/bin directory.
To get the usage of the upddbcredential command, run the command without any parameter in the command line interface:
On Windows: upddbcredential.bat
On Linux or UNIX: upddbcredential.sh
You can pass the user ID and password values within the command. For example,
On Windows: upddbcredential.bat -repositoryDB -userid <userid> -password <password>
On Linux or UNIX: upddbcredential.sh -repositoryDB -userid <userid> -password <password>
Note that you must replace the <userid> and <password> in the example with the actual values to connect to the DSM repository database correctly.
