  No, there is no impact of the change to the password of user oracle/root on the equivalence of the user and RAC.

• Change the password for root to an ESXi host

  Hello

  I need help to get a script VCO that change password for root to an ESXi host.

  In PowerCLI is the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet. I searched in VCO API... I have not found or something similar.

  I found the object of VcHostAccountSpec but seems it only works with "Host Profiles" and my licenses are Standard and Enterprise.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcHostAccountSpec.html

  Any idea?

  Thanks, Roberto

  Another option would be to connect to the ESXi host with vCO plugin SSH and run the command "passwd" remotely. Haven't tried, but in theory, it should work.

  @Tim - we try to keep the compatibility of the existing whenever possible plug-ins vCO so PowerShell module should work with the latest vCO relies.

• change the password for root esxi and esx?

  Hello

  Is there an easy way to change passwords for root of esx esxi via powercli hosts?

  Thank you!!!

  You can use the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet to change the password of an ESX/ESXi server. Remember that you must connect directly to the host to do.

  SE connect-VIServer-Server ESX1.yourdomain .com - user root - password secret

  Game-VMHostAccount - UserAccount root - password topsecret

• Change password for user "root".

  I started watching Orchestrator, and I was asked to change the password for the 'vmware' and another 'administrative account"(don't know what it is) when I clicked on Configuration Orchestrator. I clicked on Configuration of the device several times and I have not been invited to reset the 'root' password, I am still able to connect with "vmware" as password. Is it possible for me to connect to via vCenter Orchestrator console and change the password to root via the command line? Or is it possible to force him to ask me to reset the password for the "root"?

  If you are able to connect to the vCO Device Configuration using the root / vmware, he should also be able to connect to the console via vCenter as root. Once logged in, simply type passwd and press on enter, then enter your new root pw.

• Reset the password of Root ESX 3.0.1

  I'm looking to reset the password on an ESX 3.0.1 host where I have an another account setup.  It's as easy as just connect to the ESX host via the VI Client with another account (this is preferred) and reset the root password in there? I presume that this wil have no impact to the performance of services?

  I know there is a way to do it through the console to start up but my host is in a Data Center remote with no active bit and really, really, I don't want to have to explain the steps to a data center operator, I'll end up banging my head on the desk as always.

  Thanks in advance guys

  See you soon

  D.Misbehavis

  The post, I'm gathering you want to change, but still actually have the root password, so this qusetion is not coming from a recovery access problem, OK? So I guess you still have your original passwd ROOT.

  Since the VIC? Not sure is it possbile to touch and actually "passwd" root.

  But you can grant shell access of account (from the CIE), SSH to the host, "su -" to the root, then ("passwd") to modify the passwd for root.

  Other that you would have to boot into single user and run passwd recovery in this way.

  Hope this helps,

• Keychain Access: change password for Local Items

  Hey everybody,

  Until a few days ago, I had my OS X connected to my Apple ID login Then I unplugged the two and changed the two passwords.

  Now every time that I start to OS X, many things (talagent...) ask my local products Keychain password, which is always set to the password I had before the change. The change password menu item is grayed out, so I have no idea how to change. Needless to say, it's quite annoying having to type the password about 5 - 6 times every time you start Mac OS x.

  Does anybody know a solution for this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi MissKillALot,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your Mac. If you are prompted several times your login Keychain password after changing your password, you may update or reset your login keychain. You can find information and the steps in the following articles useful:

• Change password for local administrator on Cisco ISE in distributed deployment

  Hi guys,.

  I managed four ISEs of Cisco in a distributed environment.

  First ISE is the Admin, second ISE is followed, the third and fourth are the PSN.

  We use local authentication. We want to change the password for the admin user name.

  -What does that by a lucky break the connection between the ISEs or will be the new password pushed to each of them?

  There is no possibility to change the passwords on the PSN as the administration tab is not available.

  I know that when I create a new user, he's pushed all ISEs.

  Thank you.

  Serge.

  Serge,

  Good question.  Once I read this question, I had to know, so I tried this in my lab.

  I changed the admin password and change successfully, I had to connect to ISE using the new password.  Then I noticed on my dashboard to my node communication school admin and my PSN was green.  YAY.  I went to the page of deployments and could access the configurations for the nodes.

  Trust, I logged the secondary node using the NEW PASSWORD.  So, Yes, not only communication does NOT break, the new password is pushed down to all nodes.

  Please rate useful messages and mark this question as answered if, in fact, does that answer your question.  Otherwise, feel free to post additional questions.

• Users cannot change password for 802.1 x and implementation of ISE

  Hi all

  We have implemented cisco ISE 1.1 for a week and we notice that Microsoft active directory the user cannot change password there when it expired.

  We store all user account in Microsoft active directory for authentication and ISE is mapped with Microsoft active directory. Normally, when your expired password Microsoft active directory ask you to change your password, but in our case cisco switch or 802. 1 x do not allow communication with active directory before giving access to the network. Is this a configuration error or cisco do not support this?

  Best regards.

• Change password for the DN of the user: (MSAD config) Shared Services

  We have the MSAD service account to configure shared with MSAD services. E.M.P. version 11.1.2.3

  As a policy, we change the password for this account. Since we do not have shared services link works in this version.

  Will work the steps below?

  1. modify the password for the service account in MSAD

  2. connect to the workspace with other admin MSAD (my user id) id

  3. change the password for Shared services configuration MSAD, under "set up user directories.

  If this approach does not work, is there another way to do this?

  One solution is to change the workspace-> administer-> workspace server

  settings-> "allow direct connection after the failure of the SINGLE sign-on:" = Yes

  This will allow you to connect without SSO assuming that there are problems with the SSO.

  (assuming you can change pw back so you can connect to the workspace).

• Change password for an Oracle RAC installation account

  All,

  I'm not an Oracle DBA, but currently I am asked to fill in until a certified Oracle DBA lights.  I work with MS SQL Server and have servers managed for some time.

  That being said, my question is probably a simple.  In the Oracle 11 g RAC 2 installation guide, it tells you * must * use an account that exists on both servers to install.  So far, so good, we have a domain dedicated to this purpose and no other account.  However, due to a recent change in policy, we must also change the password on this account on a regular basis (annual).  My question is, which, if it is, a will this affect on our Oracle RAC database facilities?

  If we simply change the password at the domain level, rather than to check the "must change password at next login", is this cause problems with our data?

  My inclination is no, we have no problems, because current services 'running' Oracle use the local NETWORK SERVICE account that will not be changed, but confirmation of this would be appreciated.

  Environment:

  Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2

  Oracle: 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.4

  GRID: 11.2.0.2

  Thank you

• Change password for the application from the apex

  Hi friends,
  
  I created an application of database in the apex, for this application in the login page, that I need to set as
  
  Forget the password link or change the password link, assume that if the end user clicks that link means, there ask for the
  
  New password: and confirm password
  
  shortly after he entered the password if the user connects to the application of the means, he needs to go inside the application. .........
  
  
  Normally to reset the password for the end user for the application, we will do it on the side of the administration of apex
  
  It is that we will give RESET PASSWORD OPTION to change the password for the end user...
  
  My question in this sense, that the end user must change his password by itself in the front end application...
  
  It is possible to like that in the application of the apex...
  
  How friends,
  
  Kind regards

  The problem is that you have specified a different page than the page of connection (due to which your login page used the builtin page). During the passage of the authentication, you must specify that 101 is indeed your login page (disabled by default)

  Here's a screenshot of it.

  So, in your workspace, choose current change, choose the authentication name and when you get to this screen tick the checkbox and submit. You should be prompted for your login page (which corresponds to the theme). This should solve the problem.
