Hi Srikanth

You cannot see the SDM password.

Hi Srikanth,

You cannot view the password of SDM so change it to your wish(usueally it is preferred to keep J2ee and SDM passwords same)

Hi,

in my opinion you can't see the password. But you can change it.

Changing the (remote) SDM Password

Since the SDM Server offers you functions that you can use remotely, they must be protected from unauthorized use. For this reason, the SDM requires remote users to authenticate themselves with a password. The default shipped password is sdm. You can change this password in the following ways:

Pushbutton in the remote GUI

changepassword command

sdm changepassword sdmhome=<...> newpassword=<...> [password=<...>]

where

newpassword: New password

password: Old password. Since 6.30 SP5, this parameter has been set optional so that the password can be changed without reference to its current value. If this parameter is specified, its value will be ignored.

Note: changepassword command can be executed only if SDM server is stopped (see stop/start SDM Server) and it is in standalone mode (see jstartup). It would be better to return SDM in the same state as it was before the execution.

Dear Timm Funke

In Tomcat in Server.Xml file contains the user name and password . I am thinking like there is any like similar XML or .Properties to store SDM user and Password information

Thank you Timm Funke

Hi again,

The SDM password is stored as an irreversible hash in the SDM repository. Therefore, editing the hashed value of the password is not advisable and may not necessarily resolve SDM log-in problems.
