Set a Message Queue Password

You set the Message Queue password to change the password for the following service accounts:

reportserver
+reportagent

You may need to regularly change the password for these accounts to comply with your organization's security and password policies. When you set a Message Queue password, you must enclose the password in double quotes.

Note: You may need to use more than one method to change the password on all components that the service account interacts with.

To set a Message Queue password

Navigate to the following directory, where DistServer is the directory in which you installed the Distribution Server:
```
DistServer/MessageQueue/tibco/ems/5.1/bin
```
(UNIX) Enter the following command:
```
tibemsadmin
```
The Tibco EMS Administration Tool starts.
(Windows) Enter the following command:
```
tibemsadmin.exe
```
The Tibco EMS Administration Tool starts.
Connect to the current environment, using one of the following commands:
- If the Distribution Server listens for the Report Agent on port 7222 (the default port), use the following command:
```
connect
```
- If the Distribution Server listens for the Report Agent in SSL mode on port 7243, use the following command:
```
connect SSL://7243
```
Enter your username and password.
Note: The default username is admin and the password is the communication password that you specify when you install CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.

You are connected to the Message Queue.
Run the following command:
```
set password user "password"
```
user

Specifies the name of the user whose password you change.

"password"

Specifies the new password.

The password for the user is changed on the Message Queue.

Note: If you cut and paste the password into the command, verify that the password does not contain carriage returns or line feeds.

Example: Set the Message Queue Password for the reportserver User

This Tibco EMS Administration Tool command sets the Message Queue password for the reportserver user. The password is "secret", and must be in clear text and enclosed in double quotes:

> connect SSL://7243
Login name (admin): admin
Password:
Connected to: ssl://localhost:7243
ssl://localhost:7243> set password reportserver "secret"
Password of user 'reportserver' has been modified
ssl://localhost:7243>
