Passwords
Passwords on the reporting server must be created and updated as part of the Unified CVP installation or by means of the Operations Console. Do not use any other means to create or update passwords.
Passwords for the Unified CVP Reporting Server are kept encrypted locally on the OAMP server and are set on the reporting server. If these passwords are not in synch (are not identical), the Operations Console will be unable to communicate with the reporting server, and restricted operations such as the purge will fail.
If you implement a password expiration policy, remember to use the Operations Console to change the Database Administrator, and Database Users passwords before the passwords expire to avoid the possibility of data loss or downtime.
Note |
Using the Operations Console to change passwords and to renew passwords before they expire ensures that all dependencies are synchronized. |
Caution |
Changing passwords outside of the Operations Console can result in a failed connection between the reporting server and the database. |
Reporting passwords are subject to both the Unified CVP password policy and the password policy enforced by the operating system of the computer on which the reporting server resides and must meet the requirements of the more restrictive policy.
