Description

The below steps can be performed to change the password for the user configured for VCS Java Console:

1) Open an elevated command prompt (Launch using Run as administrator)

2) Make sure the cluster configuration is in Read-Write mode by using the command below:

haconf -makerw

3) The user password can now be changed with the hauser command:

hauser -update

After running the above command, a prompt will request that the new password be entered and confirmed.

Below is an example of changing the password of the user: admin

Note: If it reports an error: V-16-1-11356 when setting the password, then run the command vcsencrypt -gensecinfo and provide a passphrase when prompted.

4) Once the password has been changed, save and close the cluster configuration with the following command

haconf -dump -makero

NOTE: The above steps are not applicable when using SSO. It will report the below error

VCS WARNING V-16-1-10603 Unknown option: -update

To reconfigure SSO, run the Veritas Cluster Configuration Wizard (VCW) -> Edit Existing Cluster -> Reconfigure -> Configure/Reconfigure Single Sign-On
