Changing the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base user ID and password

Procedure to modify the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base user ID and password.

To modify the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base user ID and password, you must update the wauser_variables.xml configuration file. If you are modifying the password for the primary WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base administrator, then you must also update the useropts file.

Browse to the wauser_variables.xml template, which is located in:

Dynamic Workload Console

DWC_home

/usr/servers/dwcServer/configDropins/templates

master domain manager

TWA_home

/usr/servers/engineServer/configDropins/templates

Dynamic Workload Console

DWC_home\usr\servers\dwcServer\configDropins\templates

master domain manager

TWA_home\usr\servers\engineServer\configDropins\templates

Copy the wauser_variables.xml template to a temporary directory.
Edit the file as necessary, specifying the new password.
The contents of the wauser_variables.xml file is as follows:
```
<server description="wauser_var">
                <variable name="user.twsuser.id" value="$(wlpUser)"/>
                <variable name="user.twsuser.password" value="$(wlpPassword)"/>
                </server>
```
where:

user.twsuser.id

Is the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base user ID.

user.twsuser.password

Is the new WebSphere Application Server Liberty Base password.
Optionally, create a backup copy of the configuration file in a different directory, if the file is already present.

Copy the wauser_variables.xml file to the overrides directory. Changes are effective immediately.

- on every command-line client that points to your workstation.
- on every fault-tolerant agent in your environment that has an HTTP/HTTPS connection defined in localopts that points to your workstation. The HTTP/HTTPS connection is used to submit a predefined job or job stream.
- in the engine connection parameters on every connected Dynamic Workload Console.
