Changing the Agent User Password

When the Messaging Agent and Archive Agent are installed, the user’s eDirectory password that is used to read the configuration that starts the agents is stored in the startup file for each agent. Prior to Messenger 2.0.2 Hot Patch 1, this password was stored in plain text. By default in Messenger 2.0.2 Hot Patch 1, the password is obfuscated to prevent the password from being read.

If you want to check whether the password has been obfuscated, look in the startup files. The password is prepended with $$: if it has been obfuscated.

The GWMPassword utility is used to change the password in the startup file for both the Messaging Agent and the Archive Agent.

NOTE:Messsenger 2.0.2 Hot Patch 1 must be installed before you use the GWMPassword Utility to change the agent user password. If you use the utility before updating your Messenger system to Messenger 2.0.2 Hot Patch 1, your agents do not start.
