Replace the search administrator user ID

If we changed the portal administrator user ID or password, we need to update the search administrator user ID to match the same values.

1. To change the information stored in the SearchAdminUser alias:

   1. Log in to the WAS console.

   2. Click...
      Security | Global security | Authentication | Java Authentication and Authorization Service | J2C authentication data

   3. Edit the SearchAdminUser alias.

   4. Update the user ID and/or password to match the WebSphere Portal administrator information.

2. To verify the changed administrator user ID takes effect, use one of the following two options:

   • Change the administrator user ID and the password using the Manage Search administration portlet.

   • Delete the default portal search services and collections. After a portal restart as by the next step, the portal recreates these search services and collections.

3. Restart the WebSphere Portal servers.
