Manually Updating VCS User Passwords

VCS 4.1 features enhanced user password encryption. The passwords used in installations of previous VCS versions can no longer be used. You must manually update the user passwords on your systems when you did not use the installvcs utility to upgrade your VCS systems to 4.1.

  To manually update VCS user passwords

1. Make the VCS configuration writable:
     # haconf -makerw
2. Update the passwords for all users in the cluster.
   1. To get the list of all users, use the command:
   
       hauser -list
   2. For each user, use the hauser command:
   
       hauser -update username

   For example:

   
       # hauser -update admin
       Enter New Password:********
   
       Enter Again:********
       # hauser -update smith
       Enter New Password:********
   
       Enter Again:********
3. Dump the VCS configuration:
     # haconf -dump -makero
