How to change the default Stat password in the repository? (4280263)

Upon installation, the second pass Login ID and password are set for you. The Login ID is set to “STAT.” Do not change it.

If your DBA requires that the Stat database password be changed, the password itself must be changed in three locations: the Stat Windows Client, the Stat Central Agent, and at the database level.

Changing the Stat database password for the Stat Windows Client is controlled by the user class right, Master Database Login ID - Change.

CAUTION: This is a very critical operation and must be performed carefully. Contact Quest Support if you need assistance.

1. Make sure all Stat users have logged out except the one user who will change the password in the Stat Windows Client.
   This user must remain logged in for the password change to take effect.
2. Once the password has been changed at the database level by the DBA, select Maintenance | Security Settings | Database Login Info in the Stat Windows Client.
3. In the Change Database Password dialog box, enter the password exactly as it is defined at the database level.
4. Confirm the password. Then click OK.
5. Without logging out of Stat, start a second session of Stat, logging in with the new password.
   This will confirm that you have entered the password correctly. If you receive a second pass login error, you may have typed the new password incorrectly.
   After changing the password at the database level and then in the Stat Windows Client, you need to change the password for the Stat Central Agent. You can use the Configuration Assistant to make this change. For more information on the Configuration Assistant, see the document, Stat Install Notes.
6. Open your Internet browser and go to http://<stat_server_host_machine>:8080/stat-config.
   This opens the Configuration Assistant Page.
7. In the Password field, enter the password to match the password for the Stat Windows Client and at the database level. When finished, click Save.
   Stat verifies that the Stat database parameters you entered are correct.
8. Stop and then re-start the Stat Central Agent.
