Editing the local admin user account

Edit the local_admin.xml file to unlock or change the password of the local admin user account.

Procedure

  1. Open the local_admin.xml file, which is located in the CHANGE_APP_HOME/WEB-INF/wsconfig directory.
  2. Perform one or both of these tasks:
    • To unlock the account, delete the <locked></locked> tag set.
    • To change the password:
      1. Locate the password tag.

        For example:

        <password>XyA0qldP1EQ7/jccFo29Uc==</password>

      2. Change the line as follows:

        <password-unencrypted>new password in plain text</password-unencrypted>

  3. Save the changes, and then restart Rational® Change to reload the file.
    • If you have unlocked the account, when the file reloads, Rational Change rewrites the file, and the account is no longer locked.
    • If you have changed the password, when the file reloads, Rational Change rewrites the file, encrypting the password so that it is no longer plain text.
