If you change the default WebSphere® Application Server administration
credentials or the repository credentials, use the AppServerAdmin command
to update the new credentials across your configuration.
Location
Issue the command from the root_directory/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
directory.
The AppServerAdmin command has two options: -was and -db.
- -was option
- If you change the default WebSphere Application Server administrator
user name and password, this command updates the user name and password throughout
the WebSphere Application
Server configuration.
- You can change the WebSphere Application Server default administrator
user name and password in the following cases:
- If you change the WebSphere Application Server user registry configuration
in the WebSphere Application
Server Administration console and the server ID and password for the current
user registry is changed or a new user registry is configured.
- If the WebSphere Application
Server default administrator is deleted from the configured registry or if
that user's password is changed or expired.
You must run the -was option each time the WebSphere Application Server default
administrator credentials are changed.
- -db option
- The xmeta or repository user credentials are used by WebSphere Application
Server to connect to the IBM® Information Server repository. If you change the
xmeta or repository user name and password, this command updates the user
name and password throughout WebSphere Application Server and the IBM Information
Server configuration.
- You might have to change the repository credentials if the original user
was deleted from the registry or if that user's password changed or expired.
You must run this command each time the xmeta or repository user credentials
are changed.
