Update the aliases that reference the administrative user IDs and passwords used to manage HCL Connections databases.

This is an optional procedure.

  1. Change the administrative user credentials using the tools provided with the database product that you are using.

    • DB2® Configuration Assistant

  2. In the Authentication area, expand Java Authentication and Authorization Service, and click J2C authentication data.

  3. Click the alias name to edit it. Refer to the following tables for alias information.
