Re-encrypt the SOA Security Manager Super User Password

You re-encrypt the SOA Security Manager Super User password to ensure that the data is encrypted using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

Note: This is the password for the default administrator account. This account is used for all administrative tasks that do not require direct access to the Administrative UI. This is not the password for the Administrative UI administrator account with Super User privileges.

To reset the SOA Security Manager Super User password, open a command prompt and run the following command:

smreg -cf MIGRATE -su password

-cf MIGRATE

Specifies that smreg run in FIPS-migration mode.

Note: When smreg runs in FIPS-migration mode, the existing Super User password is saved using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

password

Specifies the existing Super User password.

Note: You do not have to supply a new password. You are entering the same password to ensure that the data is encrypted using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

The SOA Security Manager Super User password is encrypted using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

You may now set each of the Agents in the environment to FIPS-migration mode.
