Change product administrator password

If you are a product administrator and your password is not verified against a target system, you may be required to change your password in Bravura Security Fabric at regular intervals. When your password expires, you are directed to the Change product administration password administration password page upon login.

There are two ways that you can change a product administrator’s password. You can change it using the Bravura Security Fabric web interface or by using the adm_set program in the <instance>\util\ directory.

If you forget the password for your Bravura Security Fabric superuser, then using adm_set is by default the only way to reset the product administrator’s password.

Change the password using the web UI

To change your Bravura Security Fabric console login password:

  1. On the main menu, click Change product administration password.

  2. Type your current password and new password in the appropriate fields.

  3. Re-type your new password in the Confirm your new password field. The password can be up to 64 characters long.

  4. Click Change my password.

If you are a product administrator and your password is verified against a target system, password expiry is determined by the target system, and the Change product administration password link is not included on the main menu.

Click below to view a demonstration of changing the product administrator’s password using the Bravura Security Fabric UI and then changing it back to the original password using the adm_set utility.

Change the password using the adm_set utility

  1. Open a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator.

  2. Change directory to the location of the adm_set utility using the following command:

    cd c:\Program Files\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\default\util

  3. Change the password of the superuser using the adm_set utility using the following command:

    adm_set.exe -user superuser -pass <new password>

    If you are prompted to make changes to the computer, click Yes.

  4. Log in to the Front-end (PSF) as superuser with the new password.

    If the login is successful, then the superuser password was correctly reset using the adm_set utility.

The adm_set utility can also be used to unlock a product administrator account. See adm_set usage information .
