Table 3.57. System users and usage
If you want to change the password of a system user, you can either set new passwords before the first start of the Content Server using a property or change it later, using the user management.
Changing password at first start
You can use the property cap.server.initialPassword.<username> (see Section 5.1, “Configuration Property Reference”)
to change the default passwords before the first start of the Content Server.
Change the property for the users for whom you want to change the password in the Content Server, for example
cap.server.initialPassword.webserver=yourpassword.Change the password in the property file of the components that connect with this user.
Change the password with user management
Change the password at the Content Server. Either use the user management in Studio (see Section 3.5, “Managing Users and Groups” in Studio User Manual) or use the changepassword server tool (see Section 3.13.2.2, “Changepassword”).
Change the password in the property file of the components that connect with this user.
If you think, that a plain text password in a properties file is a security threat, then you can use the encryptpasswordproperty tool (see Section 3.13.2.12, “Password Property Encryption” to encrypt the passwords in the properties files.
