Changing Passwords

Changing Passwords

You can change the password for your user account or other user accounts. Keep the following points in mind when changing passwords:

Do not change a password if you are outside of the corporate firewall and you did not use SSL to connect to the Integration Server.

Passwords cannot be null values or empty strings.

Be sure to select passwords that are difficult to guess. For example, use a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Do not use a name, phone number, social security number, license plate or other generally available information; the security of your system depends on it.

You cannot use the Integration Server Administrator or Software AG Designer to administer users or groups stored in an external directory. This restriction includes changing the passwords of these users.

To change a user's password

1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.

2. In the Security menu of the Navigation panel, click User Management.

3. In the Users section of the screen, select the user name for the user whose password you want to change and click change password.

4. Enter the following information:

Parameter	Specify
New Password	The new password, made up of any combination of letters, numbers, or symbols. Null values and empty strings are invalid. Important: Passwords are case sensitive. Type this value exactly as you want the client to enter it. Be sure to select passwords that are difficult to guess. For example, use a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Do not use a name, phone number, social security number, license plate or other generally available information.
Confirm Password	The same password again to make sure you typed it correctly.

5. Select Allow Digest Authentication to use password digest as an authentication option.

6. Click Save Password.
