5.2.2 Changing Database Passwords
Changing the passwords for system users, such as dbauser, rptuser, or appuser, must be done using
standard database utilities; it cannot be done by using the Sentinel Control Center. Some of these
passwords are encrypted and stored in configuration files and used in normal Sentinel operations.
These configuration files must be updated after the passwords are changed. System user passwords
can be updated using standard database utilities.
IMPORTANT: Changing password for the postgre user is not supported in Sentinel 6.1 Rapid
Deployment.
