Change the JCS Administration Stored Password

To ensure better security across a deployment you can change the JCS administration users stored password.

Note: The JCS remembers all passwords for the administrator user because the last restart and all passwords are accepted as valid for bind requests. This allows phased upgrade of passwords for a JCS where multiple Provisioning Servers connect to the JCS, but do not update their stored passwords for the JCS at the same time.

Follow these steps:

1. Start JCS.
2. Bind to JCS using the following details:

   Host

   Specifies the host computer name of the JCS

   Protocol

   LDAP v3

   Port

   2041, when using level: SSL + User + Password (TLS)

   20410, when using the less safe level: User + Password

   User DN

   uid=admin,ou=system

   Password

   As configured during installation.

3. Change the password for “uid=admin,ou=system” to a new value.

   This change takes effect immediately.
