About the Password Update Tool 
 
The password update tool is intended for use with deployments of the SAS 
Intelligence Platform. The tool automates part of the password update 
process for required accounts, providing an alternative to the manual 
instructions documented in step 4 of the SAS Intelligence Platform: 
Security Administration Guide. If you need assistance using this tool, 
please contact a SAS Technical Support consultant. 
 
The pdf file for the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration 
Guide is available at:

The information about how to update passwords for required accounts is 
found online in this section of the Administration Guide:

To use the password update tool, you must provide: 
 
   1. The full paths to your site's two top-level locations for SAS 
      Intelligence Platform configuration files (your configuration 
      directory and your installation directory). 
 
   2. User ID and password information for each account that you are 
      updating.  You can provide these directly in the command line or 
      reference them in a separate file. The passwords that you 
      provide should be in clear text; the tool encrypts the passwords 
      for you. 
 
Note: If you run the tool without providing user ID and password 
information, the program generates a list all of the user ID and 
password pairs that it discovers in your configuration files. 
 
The tool passes each user ID and new-password pair to the authentication 
provider for the SAS® Metadata Server to verify that the new password 
corresponds to a valid account. 
 
The tool encrypts the passwords and then uses its internal pwfile.xml 
file to locate and update all instances of the passwords in your 
configuration files. 
 
The tool generates log and error files according to your specifications. 
 
Note: In a multi-machine deployment, you must run this tool on each 
machine where the configuration wizard has been run. 
 
You must have read and write access to the files that you are going to 
modify.
