Description

Sometimes, due to password change policy, passwords will need to be changed.

If the VIOM 'habdbsync' account needs to have its password changed, it can be done on the VIOM management server as follows:

 

1) As a precaution, save the original password. It can be obtained as follows:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xdbadm -g -u habdbsync -c /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/conf

2) The syntax to change the habdbsync password:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xdbadm -s -u habdbsync -p XXXXXX --odbc /etc/vx/VRTSsfmcs/.odbc.ini --database SFMdb3 --conf /var/opt/VRTSsfmcs/conf

The -p option is where the new password is entered. 

It is recommended to restart VIOM services to ensure correct start-up:

/opt/VRTSsfmcs/bin/vomsc --restart ALL
