Using the OEDA changePassword Utility

6.17 Using the OEDA changePassword Utility

You can change the password of the grid and oracle users across all clusters by using the changePassword.sh utility included with OEDA.

The utility is located in the same directory as the install and config scripts.

You cannot use this utility if the servers are locked down.

To change the password of both oracle and grid users on all database servers and clusters, run the changePassword command.
```
./changePassword.sh -cf config.xml -userName root
```
For config.xml, specify the full path name to the deployment file created by OEDA.

The utility prompts for the current root password and allows you to change the password of any users in the rack.
To change the password for a specific user, such as oracle or grid, use the -userName user_name option with the command.
To change the password for all users within a specific cluster, use the -clusterName cluster_name option with the command.
Use the -h option with the command to display the usage information.
