Set the Director Database password
The Director Database password is configured for the first time when you install the Director. The same commands are used each time you want to reset the password. Keep in mind the following conditions:
- If your password uses special characters, you must escape those characters
- After changing the password, you must run
vrestart
If you are uncertain if a character needs to be escaped, run this command first, adding the escapes where you think they are needed. If it comes out as you expect, you've escaped it correctly.
echo This\!sMynew\$P@ssw0rd\!
The results of that command would be:
This!sMynew$P@ssw0rd!
To create or update the Director database password, use the vsetdb command:
sudo vsetdb --password NEW_PASSWORD vrestart
Replace NEW_PASSWORD with the password you want to use for your Security Validation database.
You can also run the vsetdb using this format:
sudo vsetdb -p NEW_PASSWORD vrestart
