Passwords are changed or expired

The product installation creates three system users to enable communication between the database and IBM Security Directory Server. The default users are itimuser, db2admin, and ldapdb2.

The db2admin user is created with a password that never expires.

Passwords for ldapdb2 and itimuser expire based on the password policy of the system. If these passwords expire or are changed, reconfigure IBM Security Identity Manager and its associated middleware to use the new passwords. For example, if the itimuser user password expires, database access fails unexpectedly. See the Installation and Configuration Guide.
