How to change the PATROL default account password?
The PATROL Agent(PA) default account information is stored in the/AgentSetup/defaultAccount configuration variable. By default, this account is used to install PA. However, the account can be changed that the PA runs under. If the password of the account is changed at the OS level or if it is required to change the account username or password, pconfig utility can be used to change the PA default account:
On Unix, below steps are to be executed before using the pconfig utility:
1. cd Patrol3 . ./patrolrc.sh then run the below steps.
2. Run the pconfig +get command to get the current configuration and save it to a file.
3. Go to the $PATROL_HOME/bin directory and run the Encryption Utility to generate the encrypted password. The output of the following command will be the encrypted password.
Syntax: pwd_encrypt <Enter the plain-text password here>
The encrypt utility has been replaced on version 22.1 of agent, user can find the new encrypt utility tool called "patrol_encrypt" on directory $PATROL_HOME\tmp\PA22_1_00\bmc_products\Install\instcommon\encrypt_tool
Or Directly in original installation folder. Example: bmc_products\Install\instcommon\encrypt_tool
The new utility executes the same way as the old utility.
