Changing your password on the ObjectServer

If you are authenticated against any external source other than an ObjectServer, you must always request a password change from the system administrator of the external source.

About this task

The password for the ObjectServer server user cannot start with any of the following characters: hyphen (-), forward slash (/), or double quotation mark (").

To change your password on the ObjectServer:

Procedure

  1. Perform the appropriate action for your operating system:
    Option Description
    UNIX From the Conductor window on UNIX, click File > Change Password.
    Note: On UNIX, the Change Password menu option is not available if your organization uses external authorization. This is because externally-authenticated passwords are not stored in the ObjectServer.
    Windows From the Conductor menu on Windows, click Password.
    The Change Password window opens.
  2. Complete this window as follows:
    Current Password
    Type your current password. Any text entered is replaced with asterisk (*) characters.
