Changing the tw_admin password in a stand-alone environment

To change the tw_admin password in a stand-alone environment that you specified when installed IBM BPM, use the Process Administrative console to change the password and the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to change the password in the corresponding authentication alias.

If you do not have BPMAdmin_Auth_Alias defined in your environment, your profiles were most likely created before you upgraded to IBM BPM version 8.0. In this case, follow the process for changing the password in the IBM BPM version 7.5.1 information center.

If users are maintained in federated repositories, then the passwords for the users need to be changed in the repositories. If tw_admin is a user from Standalone LDAP for example, then the password must be changed in the standalone LDAP.


Procedure

  1. Log on to the Process Administrative console using the administrative account. The administrative account has the username and password that was specified when the product was installed.
  2. Change the password for the tw_admin account in the Process Administrative console.

  3. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  4. Change the BPMAdmin_Auth_Alias password.

    1. In the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, click Security > Global security.
    2. Under Authentication, click JAASConfiguration > J2C Authentication data.
    3. Navigate to BPMAdmin_Auth_Alias.
    4. Change the BPMAdmin_Auth_Alias password.
  5. Modify the tw_admin password for the roles associated with the tw_admin administrative user name using one of the following methods:

    • Go to Enterprise Applications > IBM_BPM_Teamworks_< node and server location> > User RunAs roles, for example: Enterprise Applications > IBM_BPM_Teamworks_Node01_Server01 > User RunAs roles. Change the password for the roles with which the tw_admin administrative user name is associated and apply the change.

      For example, if the twem and twuser roles are associated with the tw_admin user name, change the password for those roles.

    • Run the util\Security\bpmModifyMapRunAsRole.py utility to update the password for the administrative user for the system applications. See Defining RunAs roles user assignments for system applications for more information.

  6. Log out of the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  7. Restart the server.
