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 Management Center, 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 following 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 are 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 (if that product has been installed)
   • The CA XCOM Gateway database user (if that product has been installed)
   • The CA XCOM Management Center database user
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 are updated to reflect the new passwords that have been entered.

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