Performing a routine change of the ssoconfig password

Follow this procedure if you are performing a routine change of the ssoconfig password. This is a good procedure to perform periodically to ensure that the password does not become known by unauthorized persons. You perform this procedure using the ssoconfig utility and you must know the current password.

  1. Run the ssoconfig utility. From a command prompt, specify

    ssoconfig —c

  2. At the prompt, specify the password for the ssoconfig utility.
  3. From the main menu, select "5" Manage Services and then select "2" Change authentication administration settings.
  4. At the prompt for "Enter the password for the ssoconfig utility," specify the new password and then press Enter. Confirm the change by specifying the password again at the next prompt.
  5. Press Enter to retain your setting for the attribute accessed by the prompt, "Do you want to enforce e-mail mechanism for password recovery?"

    You should now be at the main menu for the ssoconfig utility.
