Change the password for multiple tools

As administrator, you may configure many tools to run under a particular account, with a password specified for security reasons. When it becomes necessary to change that password, you can use the Change Password utility to change the password for all the tools that use that account name. You can also change the name of the account the tool runs under. The utility is available from the HP Operations Manager Tools tools group in the Tools folder in the console tree.

To change the user name, password, or both for all instances of a tool

1. In the console tree, select the tool for which you want to change the user name, password, or both.
2. Open the Tool Configuration editor and be sure these settings are correct:

   Details pane: The Parameters box must contain the parameter $OPC_MGMTSV. When you run the tool, the name of the management server is supplied for this variable.

   Target pane: The Execute on: box must specify console.

3. From the console tree, select Tools HP Operations Manager Tools. In the Details pane, select the tool Modify Tools login/password.
4. Double-click the tool name or right-click to open the shortcut menu and select All Tasks Launch Tool to open the Update User/Password dialog box.
5. In the Update User/Password dialog box, enter the old user name and the new user name.
6. Enter the new password and confirm it.
7. Click Apply to confirm your changes.
8. Click OK to confirm your changes and close this dialog box.
9. To test the changed user name, return to the Tool Properties dialog box Target pane. The new user name should appear in the User Name box.
