Transferring Logical Server Passwords
Passwords for logical servers are stored in the Password Manager repository. If you have set up Central Configurator to use SSL, you should transfer any updated passwords. If any passwords have been updated since the archive file was created for an environment configuration, transfer those updated passwords to the Password Manager repository in the appropriate configuration engine. For example, if there are any new database pool passwords for the Analytic Engine, transfer those new passwords to the Password Manager repository in the Analytic Engine.
The Password Manager repository is created using the
webMethods Password Administrator utility, which is installed with
My webMethods. For more information about the
webMethods Password Administrator utility, see
Security.
To transfer passwords, open the archive file for the environment configuration and locate the Password Manager repository in the /config directory. Use the webMethods Password Administrator utility to transfer the passwords.
