CIS Repository Password Change

CIS Repository Password Change

This KB describes how to reconfigure the Cisco Information Server (CIS) so that it uses a new password in order to access its repository database (DB).

Complete these steps in order to reconfigure CIS so that it uses the new password to access its repository database:

1. Change the password for the corresponding user. 
   
   Here is an example:  
    

   mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD('<PASSWORD_IN_CLEAR_TEXT>') where user='cs060205';
   mysql> commit;
   mysql> flush privileges

   
    
2. Make a backup of the server_values.xml file located in <CIS_INSTALL>/conf/server.
    
3. Export the repository configuration file and save it into repo.properties. 
    

   repo_util.bat -exportConfig > repo.properties

   
    
4. Open the server_values.xml file and locate these lines: 
    

   <common:attribute>
   
       <common:name>/server/config/database/databasePassword</common:name>
   
       <common:type>PASSWORD_STRING</common:type>
   
       <common:value>Encrypted:3C69A34C292CE89B</common:value>

   
    
5. Replace the encrypted value with the new unencrypted password.  
   
   Here is an example:
    

   <common:attribute>
   
       <common:name>/server/config/database/databasePassword</common:name>
   
       <common:type>PASSWORD_STRING</common:type>
   
   <common:value>myNewPassword</common:value>

   
    
6. Modify repo.properties with a clear text password, which was set in Step 5.
   
   For more information, refer to Sample repo.properties File .
    
7. Run repo_util.bat/.sh in order to load new repo.properties.
   
   Here is an example:
    

   repo_util.bat -updateConfig -configFile repo.properties
   repo_util -listConfig

   
    
8. Restart the Composite Server service.
