Changing the data grid password

The password that is used to access the data grid might need to be changed at regular intervals, depending on your password security policies.

About this task

This procedure affects what you entered in the User name and Password fields on the Data grid configuration page of the IBM Installation Manager.

You can continue running AS4 Microservice while you change the data grid password. You first add a new password and then delete the old password.

To change the data grid password, complete the following steps:

Add a new user and password by entering the following command from the install_dir\Members\bin directory:
```
execute grid user add <userName> <password>
```
The data grid can now be accessed with both the old password and the new password.
Delete the old user and password by entering the following command from the install_dir\Members\bin directory:
```
execute grid user delete <userName>
```
The data grid can now be accessed with only the new password.
