Using the Contenta Password Manager utility

The Contenta Password Manager utility allows you to create, remove, or modify Contenta database passwords, LDAP principal account name and password, Crawler principal user password, and the trust key between Contenta Server and Contenta Web.

Before you begin

Linux only: Source the pdm.cshrc file.

Procedure

  1. Open a command window at the location of the XyConfig.bin file, such as Contenta_Home\bin.
  2. At a command prompt, type dbpwdmgr.
    The system displays the following.
    Contenta password manager
    
    Use this utility to change:
     > Contenta database passwords
         - Include Oracle SID for UNIX or ODBC DSN for Windows as a part of
           database name (dbname@SID or dbname@DSN) on the command line of
           this utility. If you are using non-ODBC Contenta Server binary on
           Windows, then create additional entry with SID.
         - NOTE: Must also add or modify password for the same user
           using Oracle or SQL Server database management utilities,
     > LDAP principal account name/password
         - provide a name in LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format),
           for example cn=Manager,ou=Legal,dc=example,dc=com. The user
           name you specify must be a principal account, that is, an account
           that can search for a user with the custom attribute and authenticate
           that user using that user's password
     > Crawler principal user password
         - provide a database name which you want to be indexed.
         - NOTE: Remember Crawler always use sysadmin user to connect to Contenta
            Server so when asked for password please provide sysadmin's password.
            Also make sure to restart the Crawler service once you successfully
            completed this operation.
     > Contenta Web and Contenta Server trust key
         - Configure this only and only if your site is using Client certificate
           authentication to login to Contenta Web. When asked enter a key which
           has been or will be configured on Contenta Server or Contenta Web too.
         - NOTE: Remember the key must match between Contenta Server and Contenta Web.
    Type 'help' for a list of commands.
