Update Directory Server Credentials

Use the smjndisetup utility to update directory manager credentials.

Important! You can use the smjndisetup utility only if you installed the Administrative UI using the stand-alone option.

Note: The smjndisetup utility can only update connection details that were configured using the Administrative UI. You cannot use the smjndisetup utility to create the connection credentials.

To update directory server credentials

1. Log into the Administrative UI host system.
2. (UNIX) Stop the SOA Security Manager Administrative UI service.

   Note: For more information about stopping the SOA Security Manager Administrative UI service, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.

3. Navigate to administrative_ui_home\CA\SiteMinder\adminui\bin.

   administrative_ui_home

   Specifies the Administrative UI installation path.

4. Run one of the following commands:
   • (Windows)

     smjndisetup.bat --reset-password
     

     Important! Before running a SOA Security Manager utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has administrator privileges. For more information, see the release notes for your SOA Security Manager component.

   • (UNIX)

     smjndisetup.sh --reset-password
     

     The utility prompts you for the user name.

5. Do one of the following:
   • Type the new directory user and press Enter.
   • Press Enter to accept the default user name.

     The utility prompts you for the password of the user.

6. Type the new password and press Enter.

   The utility verifies the credentials and prompts you to update the directory connection credentials.

7. Type y and press Enter.
   • If you ran the utility on Windows, the utility restarts the SOA Security Manager Administrative UI service and updates the new directory connection details.
   • If you ran the utility on UNIX, start the Administrative UI service to update the new directory connection details.

     Note: For more information about starting the Administrative UI service, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.
