Specifying a keystore password

This topic describes how to specify a keystore password on any of the server components. You can specify the password as plain text, or you can specify a text string that you encrypted in the Maintenance Tool.

To specify the keystore password as plain text on a server component

1. Stop the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
   
   
2. On the computer for the server component, use a text editor to open the <installationDirectory>/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.
   
   
3. Locate the <connector> element that contains the HTTPS protocol information, as shown in the following sample: 

1. Append the following attribute to the connector element, and replace <password> with the new password: keystorePass="<password>".
   In the following example, myPassw0rd is the new keystore password: 

1. Save the server.xml file.
   
   
2. Restart the BMC Atrium Orchestrator services.
   
   For additional information about the Apache Tomcat Servlet/JSP Container SSL Configuration, see documentation available at http://tomcat.apache.org/.
