Updating Encrypted Passwords Stored in the Worker Agent Configuration File
After the passwords in the worker agent configuration file are encrypted, you can change existing passwords or add workers (with user names and passwords) in the following ways:
• Use the Worker Agent Administration utility (accessed by clicking > > ).
• Edit the worker agent configuration file using a text editor.
To change a password that is encrypted by editing the worker agent configuration file, complete the following steps:
1. Open the worker agent configuration file in a text editor.
2. Locate the password line for the user whose password you want to change.
3. Replace the password information on that line with the new password (in plain text). For example, assume the password line is as follows:
password=encrypted.nimrod-CATIA
Replace encrypted.nimrod-CATIA with the new password you want to use. If the new password is CADuser1PW, then the updated line is:
password=CADuser1PW
4. Save your changes and close the file.
After changing or adding new passwords that are not encrypted, you must run the
EncryptPasswords.xml script with the encryptWVSCADAgent target (as described in
Encrypting Worker Agent Passwords) to encrypt the changed or new passwords.
