Updating the IAP Security Principle and Credentials

If you enabled IAP, default values for the JNDI/JMS user name and password are contained in the iapjms.properties file, which is located in the SWDIR\etc directory (in the properties SecurityPrinciple and SecurityCredentials respectively). For security reasons, you can change the user name/password using the swconfig utility as described below.

When you use the swconfig utility to modify the iapjms.properties file, a backup file (iapjms.properties.bak) is created, preserving the previous settings.

Resetting the User Name and Password

If you want to update the username and password without encrypting the password, you can directly edit the iapjms.properties file to add the new user name and password; otherwise use the procedure described below.

1.	From the SWDIR\util directory, enter the following command:

   swconfig -i

2.	The swconfig utility displays the current user name and prompts you to enter a new one.

3.	The swconfig utility echoes the current password and prompts you to enter a new one.

4.	The password is encrypted and the properties IAPJMSConnect.SecurityPrinciple and IAPJMSConnect.SecurityCredentials are updated accordingly.

Deleting the User Name and Password

If you do not want to use security, you can delete the current user name and password as follows:

1.	Enter the following command:

   swconfig -i -x

2.	The properties IAPJMSConnect.SecurityPrinciple and IAPJMSConnect.SecurityCredentials are deleted from the file iapjms.properties file.

Testing the Password

1.	Enter the following command:

   swconfig -i -t

2.	The swconfig utility prompts you to enter the user name and password.

The password held in IAPJMSConnect.SecurityCredentials is decrypted and compared against the password you supplied.

3.	The swconfig utility indicates whether the password is valid.
