Changing a Database Password

About Changing a Database Password

For every database, the dbinfo.cfg file is automatically updated with the newly added database information, where user = cisdba and password = cis2. The password is an encrypted character string that uses cis2 by default. If the actual database password is not set to cis2, then you must synchronize the dbinfo.cfg file with the actual password before you can connect to the database. Use the CES Admin page to change the password.

For example, at the time the database is created, the dbinfo.cfg file is updated with user=cisdba and password = cis2. If the actual database password is not cis2, then you must update the dbinfo.cfg file with the actual password before you can connect to the database. The dbinfo.cfg file is located in <Install_home>/<platform>/resources/sdm/exploeJS/admin/configs.

When Changing a Database Password

 

  • You must have administrator privileges to change the admin level user password for the database using the CES Admin page. This option is available only for the existing database entries. This option is unavailable for a new database entry.

  • Change the Oracle database user (cisdba) password in the dbinfo.cfg file using the CES Admin page so that you can connect to the database.
