To prevent unauthorized persons from learning the passwords of standard users, we recommend the following measures:
-
Do not adopt the default passwords.
-
Use secure passwords.
-
Change the passwords regularly.
-
To enable another user to work temporarily with the account of the DBM operator, you can temporarily assign a second password to the DBM operator. This way you do not have to reveal the password of the DBM operator.
Changing the Passwords for SAP MaxDB Standard Users
Use Database Manager CLI or, in SAP systems, CCMS for changing the passwords.
