Change the Password in the properties-service.xml File

You change the password in the properties-service.xml file to change the password for the reportserver account. You may need to regularly change the password for this account to comply with your organization's security and password policies.

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

To change the password in the properties-service.xml file

1. Stop JBoss Application Server.
2. Navigate to the following directory, where JBoss_home is the directory in which you installed JBoss:

   JBoss_home/server/default/deploy
   

3. Open the properties-service.xml file in a text-based editor.
4. Change the password in the SamMDB.mdb-passwd parameter.
5. Save and close the file.

Example: Change the Password in the properties-service.xml File

This snippet of the properties-service.xml file shows you the changed reportserver password. The password has been encrypted and is }>8:Jt^+%INK&i^v:

    <attribute name="Properties">      
	  SamMDB.mdb-user=reportserver
	  <!-- encoded tibco password -->
	  SamMDB.mdb-passwd={AES}:}>8:Jt^+%INK&i^v==
    </attribute>
