Solution
There are 2 places that changes need to be made
Step 1:
PTWEBSERVER is a user id in the user profile, so you must change the password by opening the user profile for PTWEBSERVER by navigating to
Peopletools -> Security -> User Profiles
Step 2 :
Once you change the password, you have to run the PSCipher script. For the information on how to run the PSCipher script, please take a look at the following document:
"E-IB: What is the location of the pscipher utility in Tools 8.44? (Doc ID 622466.1)"
For older PeopleTools releases, it is located in (PSHOME\webserv\<domainname>)
On a UNIX machine, change the PSCipher.sh script file permissions so you
can execute it.
Execute the script file with your password as an argument, for example:
pscipher MYPASSWORD
The utility returns the encrypted password as a string; for example:
VOBN5KcQZMg=
Copy the encrypted string and paste it into the configuration.properties
file, for example:
WebPassword=VOBN5KcQZMg=
After you save the configuration.properties file, restart your web
server and the new profile takes effect.
Please note: There is another method for getting the encrypted password for the PTWEBSERVER value: Navigate to PeopleTools - > Integration Broker - > Gateways , once you are there click the search button and open your 'LOCAL' gateway . Next to the ' URL ' parameter you will see a hyperlink ' Properties ' click that and you will see a dialog box showing up asking you to sign in to access the 'Integration Gateway ' properties file. The default UserID and Password is ' administrator ' and ' password ' . Once you sign in you should be able to see the file and also at the bottom you will see the ' Password Encryption Utility ' . Here is where you can type in your password and then click the ' Encrypt ' button to get you the encrypted password.
