Products

• CA Service Catalog

Issue/Introduction

We are planning to reset the mdbadmin password in the database environment.

What files are modified?  How to do this change?

Environment

Service Catalog 17.x

Resolution

The mdbadmin password is stored (encrypted) in the following files:

Service Catalog\config.properties
Service Catalog\view\conf\config.properties

Steps to implement the changes:

1. Change the mdadmin password (Catalog will keep running) on the DB side.
2. Run the setup utility - Database page - to update the mdbadmin password (which will update the config.properties files) Click on Save | Click OK to Restart Catalog (No need to go to Security or Components, only Database page under setup utility)
3. Catalog will use the new password configured in the config.properties after the restart.
