IBM Content Manager, Version 8.5.0.3      Supports:  IBM Content Navigator    

Changing the shared database connection ID and password

Before you connect to IBM® Content Manager by using the shared database connection ID for the first time, you must change the shared database connection ID to update it in the INI file. You might want to change the shared database connection ID and password periodically for security reasons.

To change your shared database connection ID and password:

  1. In the IBM Content Manager system administration client, click Tools > Manage Database Connection ID > Change Shared Database Connection ID.
  2. In the User ID field, enter the shared database connection ID.
  3. In the Password field, enter the password. The password is case-sensitive.
    Database Password
    DB2® Use the password for the operating system user ID.
    Oracle Use the password for the database user ID.
  4. In the Confirm Password field, retype the password.
  5. Select Password is required for all users logging on to CM if you want users to enter a password when they log on to the system. When the check box for the UserDBConnect privilege set is selected, then the UserDBConnect privilege set is assigned to the user ID. If the check box is not selected, then the UserDBTrustedConnect privilege set is assigned to the user ID.

    You can assign the UserDBConnect privilege set for IBM Content Manager users who do not have individual DB2 or Oracle user IDs and passwords. IBM Content Manager uses the shared IBM Content Manager user ID to connect IBM Content Manager users to DB2 or Oracle without requiring them to have their own DB2 or Oracle user ID and password.

    Alternately, you can use the UserDBTrustedConnect privilege set for users who authenticate through an LDAP server or other authentication software when those users log in to IBM Content Manager. After the IBM Content Manager user ID is authenticated, the IBM Content Manager user can log on to IBM Content Manager without a password.

  6. Click OK to save the changes.
    Important: Stored procedures for logon will check in the ICMSTUsers table for the shared database connection ID. If the ID is not defined in the table, an error will occur when you log on to the database.
