To enhance security, you can change an authentication broker password by using the Authentication Service command-line interface, vssat.
To change the authentication broker admin password
Open an operating system console and log on as root or Administrator to the authentication broker host.
Change to the Authentication Service bin directory. By default the directory is:
Windows - \Program Files\VERITAS\Security\Authentication\bin
In non-clustered environments, run the following command to obtain the authentication broker domain name and retain it for use in step 4:
vssat listpd --pdrtype ab
Run the following command to change the authentication broker admin password:
vssat resetpasswd --pdrtype ab --domain domain_name --prplname admin --newpasswd new_admin_password --repeatednewpasswd new_admin_password
where domain_name is the authentication broker domain name obtained in step 3.
