Changing your BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console password

To keep your password secure, you should change it periodically.

NoteIn a setup where LDAP authentication is used, administrators must change the password from the LDAP server and not from the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console. If you forget your password, an administrator must clear the encrypted form of your password from the configuration file at pw\pronto\conf\ldap_configuration.xml. The next time that you log on, you will enter a new password, and you will be prompted to confirm it. This operation sets your new password. Restart the BMC ProactiveNet Server after updating the ldap_configuration.xml file.

To change the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console password

  1. From the menu bar, select Server > Change Password.
  2. In the Change Password dialog box, in the Old Password field, enter your current password.
  3. In the New Password and Confirm New Password fields, enter a new password.
  4. Click OK.
Your password for the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console logon is changed immediately.
