Changing password types
Only with Assistant T can you change from a variable password to a fixed password type and
vice versa. To do this, you have to re-initialize the country settings. This switches the entire con-
tent of the customer database (including user names and passwords) to a default state.
If you perform country initialization in a system with a variable password, the previously created
user names and passwords remain intact as long as you do not subsequently change the pass-
word type.
If a CDB is read from a system in which the default user names and passwords were changed,
this CDB cannot be loaded into a HiPath 3000 system that was changed to a fixed password
type. Before reading this CDB, you have to set up a user (user name and password) in the sys-
tem that matches a user group with a fixed password. Once this user has been set up, the CDB
can be read from the HiPath 3000. With this user name and ID, you can now load the CDB into
the system switched to the fixed password type.
