Resetting encrypted RDBMS user passwords in IBM Filenet Image Services and IBM FileNet Process Engine

Question & Answer


Question

How do you reset the RDBMS user passwords (f_sqi, f_maint, f_sqi, and f_open) on either IBM Filenet Image Services and IBM FileNet Process Engine (4.0.3 or higher) servers?

Cause

New process employed in the post IS 4.1.x releases to encrypt the passwords for the f_sw, f_sqi, f_maint, and f_open users.

Answer


IBM FileNet Image Services
1. Login as fnsw
2. execute the following commands

Unix:
mv /fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin /fnsw/local/sd/saved.rdbup.bin

Windows:
rename c:\fnsw_loc\sd\rdbup.bin c:\fnsw_loc\sd\saved.rdbup.bin
fn_util create_rdbup "f_sw password" "f_maint password" "f_sqi password" "f_open password"

example:
fn_util create_rdbup "filenet" "filenet" "filenet" "filenet"

IBM FileNet Process Engine:
1. Login as fnsw
2. execute the following commands

Unix:
mv /fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin /fnsw/local/sd/saved.rdbup.bin

Windows:
rename c:\fnsw_loc\sd\rdbup.bin c:\fnsw_loc\sd\saved.rdbup.bin
fn_util create_rdbup "f_sw password" "f_maint password" "none" "none"

example:
fn_util create_rdbup "filenet" "filenet" "none" "none"
- even though only f_sw and f_maint exist for PE, all 4 passwords need to be included in the command syntax
