Changing the system passphrase

You can change the system passphrase that you entered when you installed AS4 Microservice.

About this task

If you periodically change the passphrases in your business software applications or think that the security of AS4 Microservice was compromised, you can change the system passphrase that is used in AS4 Microservice.

You do not have to stop and restart the nodes to change the system passphrase.

Follow these guidelines when you set a passphrase:

  • The passphrase cannot be the same passphrase as the previous passphrase.
  • You cannot use single or double quotation marks in the passphrase.
  • If the passphrase has multiple words that are separated by spaces, you must use double quotation marks around the phrase. You can use this syntax only when you are specifying the passphrase on the command line.
