Updating Sentinel Configuration Files
If the appuser password is changed, several Sentinel configuration files must be updated with an
encrypted form of the new password or the system cannot access the database. The dbconfig utility
is designed to encrypt the password and add it to the appropriate files.
To update the Sentinel configuration files with a new password:
1 Change the password for the Sentinel DB Administrator User by using dbconfig utility.
2 This utility is used to set the database connection related information in the config file/s under
/opt/novell/sentinel6_rd_x86/config
directory such as username, password, database
name, port, hostname.
Updating Sentinel Data Manager Connection Properties
If the dbauser password is changed, the Sentinel Data Manager connection properties must be
updated in order for any automated Sentinel Data Manager command line tasks to continue to work
(if applicable in your environment). These password change procedures are only necessary if extra
Sentinel Data Manager jobs have been created and scheduled or the Sentinel Data Manager
command line interface is used.
To update the saved SDM connection settings:
1 Run the following command and use the new dbauser password for the <dbPass> parameter.
