Overview

If database passwords are modified or expired, the new passwords must be updated in WAS so that WebSphere Portal can access them. Follow these steps to update your database passwords using the WAS Administrative console.

WAS server must be running.

  1. Update version 5.1 data sources.

    1. Bring up the WAS administrative console and log in.

      • wpsDBAuth
      • wmmDBAuth

    4. Update the password accordingly.

    5. Click Apply, and click Save to save the configuration. You are informed that security.xml has been changed.
