How to change Server, Partition admin/admin password?

Resolution:

The following steps show how to change Server, Partition admin/admin password

  1. Logout of ServerRealm in Server and Partition.
    From Server Root directory, run command:
    vaultgen -config ./adm/security/management_config.jaas -vault ./adm/security/management_vault logout ServerRealm
    and from Partition Root, run command
    vaultgen -config ../../adm/properties/partitions/standard/security/management_config.jaas -vault ../../adm/properties/partitions/standard/security/vault logout ServerRealm

    userdbadmin -db jdbc:borland:dslocal:adm/security/userdb.jds updateuser admin
