Modify the database password after configuration

You can reconfigure the database password, as needed, once your database configuration is completed.

About this task

You reconfigure the database password using the administrative console. There are three processes you need to complete to change the database password.

• Update the authentication alias for all data sources

Important: Before you make any configuration changes, it is suggested that you backup the config folder. The config folder is located beneath the Deployment Manager at <Dmgr-profile>/config. Contact your WebSphere Application Server administrator for more information.
