Function

The change-admin-password subcommand of asadmin changes the administrator password. The change-admin-password subcommand is interactive, because it prompts the user for the old administrator password, the new administrator password, and for confirmation of the new password. The new password must contain at least 8 characters.

This subcommand fails in the following instances:

• If you are an anonymous user without a password.

• If a blank password is provided (only when secure administration is enabled).

If more than one administrator is configured on Java EE Server, you must run the asadmin command with the --user option to change the password for a specific user.

This subcommand is supported in both local and remote modes.

Precondition

If more than one administrator is configured for Java EE Server, the user must run the asadmin command with the --user option to change the password for that user.
