Updating your WebSphere Application Server administrator password

You can change your IBM® WebSphere® Application Server administrator password.

About this task

You can change your WebSphere Application Server administrator password on the following WebSphere-based Sametime® servers.
  • Sametime Media Manager
  • Sametime Meeting Server
  • Sametime Proxy Server
  • Sametime Gateway Server
  • SIP Proxy/Registrar
  • FIPS Proxy Server
  • Sametime Advanced Server

The complete Sametime Media Manager installations appear in both the Media Manager and the SIP Proxy/Registrar administration listings. There is only one entity and changing the connection properties in one place is reflected in the other.

A FIPS Proxy Server uses the same credentials as the Sametime Proxy Server on which it was installed. Changing the credentials in either location affects both administrative Connections. The FIPS Proxy Server list depends on a valid server connection, so if the connection information is not correct, the FIPS Proxy server is not be listed. You can correct this by editing the connection properties in the Sametime Proxy Server listing.

To change the password on the Sametime System Console, see Updating the System Console administrator password.
