Replace the WAS administrator user ID

If you change security configuration, you may need to replace old IBM WebSphere Application Server administrator user ID with a new WAS administrator user ID.

To replace the WAS administrator user ID:

1. Create a new user in the Manage Users and Groups portlet to replace the current WAS administrative user.

2. Run the following task to replace the old WAS administrative user with the new user:
   Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat wp-change-was-admin-user -DWasPassword=foo -DnewAdminId=newadminid -DnewAdminPw=newpassword -DnewAdminGroupId=newadmingroupid from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine. The -DnewAdminGroupID parameter is required only if you plan to replace the old administrative group ID.
   UNIX™: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-change-was-admin-user -DWasPassword=foo -DnewAdminId=newadminid -DnewAdminPw=newpassword -DnewAdminGroupId=newadmingroupid from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine. The -DnewAdminGroupID parameter is required only if you plan to replace the old administrative group ID.
   i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-change-was-admin-user -DWasPassword=foo -DnewAdminId=newadminid -DnewAdminPw=newpassword -DnewAdminGroupId=newadmingroupid from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine. The -DnewAdminGroupID parameter is required only if you plan to replace the old administrative group ID.

   Additional parameter for stopped servers: This task verifies the user against a running server instance. If the server is stopped, add the -Dskip.ldap.validation=true parameter to the task to skip the validation.

3. Verify that the task completed successfully. In a clustered environment, restart the dmgr, the node agent(s), and WebSphere_Portal servers. In a standalone environment, restart the server1 and WebSphere_Portal servers.

If you use an external security manager such as TivoliAccess Manager, manually remove the old administrator user ID from the external security manager.
