Changing an IBM InfoSphere Information Server administrator password

You can change an InfoSphere® Information Server administrator account password after installation.

About this task

InfoSphere Information Server administrator accounts are the main administration accounts for InfoSphere Information Server.

You can create as many InfoSphere Information Server administrator accounts as you need. Any users with the suite administrator role assigned to them are InfoSphere Information Server administrators. The IBM® WebSphere® Application Server default administrator account also has this role.

Procedure

  1. Change the password. Use the method that matches your user registry setup:
    Option Description
    If your system uses the operating system user registry Change the password by using standard operating system utilities.
    If your system uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user registry Change the password by using LDAP utilities.
    If your system uses the internal user registry Change the password by using the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console.
  2. If the credentials that you change are also the WebSphere Application Server or IBM Db2® administrator credentials, run the AppServerAdmin command to propagate the new password across your configuration.
