Hi All,

How do i change the password for isadmin and wasadmin.
This is required since i had set them as default passwords during installations

Regards
Sreeni

Edit the user definitions in Web Console for IBM Information Server. Assert the new passwords (twice, as usual).

Try this ...I never tried

IBM gave me this command.

IS admin:
goto /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
./DirectoryAdmin -user -userid [isadmin] -password [new password]

WAS default administrator:
*There is no need to have the database running, but WAS should be stopped before using this command*
goto /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin
./AppServerAdmin.sh -was -user user_id -password user_passwd

swades,

Do we have a similar command to reset dsadm password.

Thanks

Assuming you don't know what it is currently, have root change it from the command line using "passwd".
