Change Passwords

Both database and keystore passwords within the xcom-globals.xml file are represented in encrypted form, using PASSWORD and KEY attributes within appropriate xml elements.

After installing CA XCOM Gateway, it may become necessary to update the xcom-globals.xml file when these passwords change. the XcomConfiguration.jar utility program is provided to facilitate this.

XcomConfiguration.jar can be located in the ‘lib’ subdirectory of the JBOSS_HOME\server directory, for example, C:\Program Files\JBoss\server\default\lib.

To execute this program

1. At the command prompt enter the command line:

   java -jar "{libdirectory}\XcomConfiguration.jar"
   

2. When prompted, enter the path of the folder that contains the xcom-globals.xml file that is to be updated by the utility program.

   Subsequently, you will be prompted to enter new passwords for the following:

   • The CA XCOM Interface Server keystore
   • The CA XCOM Interface Server’s database user
   • The CA XCOM Gateway keystore
   • The CA XCOM Gateway database user
   • The CA XCOM Management Center database user (if that product has been installed)
3. At each prompt, do one of the following:
   • Type the new password, if that particular password has changed.
   • Press enter to leave the existing password unchanged.

On completion of the utility program, the appropriate PASSWORD and KEY attributes within the xcom-globals.xml file will be updated to reflect the new passwords that have been entered.

Note: After changing the CA XCOM Gateway keystore using the xcomconfiguration.jar utility program, if you have previously configured CA XCOM Gateway to use SSL communication, you need to copy the encrypted form of the new keystore password and its associated key from the xcom-globals.xml file into the xcom-gateway.properties file. For more information, see Internet Connections to CA XCOM Gateway below.

You then need to restart the associated products in order to make the changes effective.
