Procedure documentationChanging Passwords for Database Users with BRCONNECT

 

You can use BRCONNECT to change the passwords for the database users SAP<SCHEMAID> or SYSTEM.

By using BRCONNECT, you will have the password for SAP<SCHEMAID> encrypted before storing it in the database.

Procedure

Use one of the following methods to change the passwords with BRCONNECT:

Changing the Password with BRCONNECT Interactively

  1. Start BRCONNECT with the command:

    brconnect [-u system/<system_password>] –f chpass –u <user_name>

  2. Enter the new password twice for confirmation.

Note Note

When you change the password interactively, on some platforms you can enter the new password hidden, as long as it is no longer than eight characters.

End of the note.
Changing the Password by Using the Command Line

Enter the following command:

brconnect [-u system/<system_password>] –c –f chpass –u <user_name> –p <new_password>

Where:

  • <system_password> is the password of the SYSTEM database user. You can use another user with DBA privileges.

  • <user_name> is the database user for which the password should be changed (for example, SAP<SCHEMAID>).

  • <new_password> is the new password for the user.

Note Note

If you omit the -u option, then the logon occurs using SYSTEM with its default password.

End of the note.
