How to change the configuration administrator password for Sun Java Server Console

Symptom

Following the steps similar to KB 1020263 to change the Sun Java Administration Server Administrator password could lead to unexpected results. Logging back into the Sun Java server console with this new password and navigating to the Configuration tab for the Directory Server (data52) on Port 389, the following message is displayed:
"You do not have the required access rights to read the configuration data of the server. Log as an user with enough rights to see the data (administrator or directory manager for example)."

Functionality is missing with this new password. This is because the new admin password is actually logging in as a different user now (Administration Server Administrator). This user has restricted permissions compared to the Configuration Administrator user for the Sun Java Server Console. What is actually required is to change the Configuration Administrator password within the Sun Java Server Console, under "Users and Groups", as outlined in this document.
