The script relinks the Oracle executable files.
3 When the script execution is complete, reboot the 5620 SAM database station.
14.5 Changing 5620 SAM database and Oracle user passwords
For greater security, Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you regularly change the
5620 SAM database user and Oracle SYS user passwords. You can optionally
change other Oracle-user accounts passwords, if required. Procedure 14-6 describes
how to change a password in a standalone system. Procedure 14-7 describes how to
change a password in a redundant system.
Procedure 14-6 To change the Oracle SYS or 5620 SAM database user
password in a standalone 5620 SAM system
Perform this procedure to change the password of a user associated with the 5620 SAM
database or Oracle functions in a standalone 5620 SAM system.
1 Log in to the main server station as the samadmin user.
2 Open a console window and navigate to the server binary directory, typically
/opt/5620sam/server/nms/bin.
3 Enter the following:
bash$ ./nmsserver.bash passwd ↵
The script prompts you for the current SYS user password.
4 Enter the password. The script validates the password, and then displays a list of
user names like the following:
SAM Database Users:
- sys
Caution — The procedure requires a restart of the 5620 SAM main
server, which is service-affecting. Alcatel-Lucent strongly recommends
that you perform this procedure only during a scheduled maintenance
period.
Note 1 — Before you perform the procedure, you must ensure that
each 5620 SAM main server, auxiliary server, and database is running
and operational.
Note 2 — You can use the procedure to change only one user password
at a time. To change multiple user passwords, you must perform the
procedure multiple times.
Note 3 — When you change a password on one station, the 5620 SAM
automatically updates the password on all other 5620 SAM stations.
