Change the Administrator Password in all CA Catalyst Files

Change the administrator password in all CA Catalyst files using the encrypter.bat utility for the change to occur in all files stored in and used by the CA Catalyst Registry.

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the CA SAM Application Server service on the SA Manager.
2. Open a command prompt, navigate to SOI_HOME\Tools\CatalystEncrypt on the SA Manager system, and run the following command:

   encrypter new_password
   

   An encrypted password appears.

3. Open the following files located at SOI_HOME\tomcat\registry\topology\physical\node0\sor, paste the new encrypted password in the listed sections, and save the files:
   • restserver.xml

     <tns:jmsImplementation inj:injID="jms">
           <tns:brokerURL>tcp://server:61616</tns:brokerURL>
           <tns:userName>samuser</tns:userName>
           <tns:password>password</tns:password>
     

   • sorapp.xml

     <tns:trace inj:injID="trace">
     . . .
           <tns:userName>samuser</tns:userName>
           <tns:password>password</tns:password>
     

   • ssaserver.xml

     <tns:trace inj:injID="trace">
     . . .
           <tns:userName>samuser</tns:userName>
           <tns:password>password</tns:password>
     

   • wsman.properties

     wsman.password=password
     

4. Start the CA SAM Application Server service.
5. Run registryloader.bat located at SOI_HOME\tomcat\registry. Ignore any "log4j:WARN" messages.

   The Registry loads an updated record of all files in which you changed the password.

6. Restart the CA SAM Application Server service.

   The Registry reconnects to all product components using the new password.

7. Access the CA Catalyst Registry and log in using the old administrator password.
8. Click Users and Roles on the left menu of the Registry home page.
9. Click Change My Password.
10. Enter the old password and new password in the provided fields and click Change.

    The Registry access now uses the new password.

11. Close the Registry, open the SOI_HOME\wso2registry\repository\conf\user-mgt.xml file, paste the new password into the following section, and save the file:

    <AdminUser>
       <UserName>samuser</UserName>
       <Password>password</Password>
    </AdminUser>
    

    The password is changed in all CA Catalyst files. If the UI Server is installed with the SA Manager, the password change is complete. If you installed the UI Server on a separate system, continue with Step 12.

12. (Standalone UI Server only) Repeat Step 11 in the same file on the UI Server, pasting the encrypted password from the SA Manager.
