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.
