Change Password and Profile Information

We recommend that you change your Master Administrator password regularly to maintain high security, so that unauthorized persons do not gain access to CA Advanced Authentication by using the MA credentials.

Use the My Profile page to change your current password and your preferences that will be reflected by default for all administrator-related and user-related tasks that you perform in future.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that you are logged in as the MA.
2. Click the MASTERADMIN link in the Console header.

   The My Profile page appears.

3. In the Change Password section, specify:
   1. The Current Password.
   2. The New Password.
   3. The new password again in the Confirm Password field.
4. In the Administrator Preferences section, specify:
   1. Whether you would like to Enable Preferred Organization.

      This organization will be selected by default in the "Organization" field for all administrator-related and user-related tasks that you perform from now on. For example, when you search the administrators, by default they will be searched in the preferred organization.

   2. The Preferred Organization that will be selected by default in the "Organization" field from now on.
   3. The preferred Date Time Format.

      This Date Time Format will be shown from now on in all date-related fields, except the report criteria page, user deactivate dialog box, and the administrator credential lock section where you need to provide the date input.

   4. The preferred Locale for your login of CA Advanced Authentication.

      See "Configuring Custom Locales" for more information on how to configure locales. The default locale is English (United States).

   5. The preferred Time Zone.

      This Time Zone will be shown from now on in all the date-related fields in CA Advanced Authentication.

      The default Time Zone is GMT.

5. Click Save.
