How to Reset / Change ias_admin Password

Hi Everyone,

I came across the situation where i forget my ias_admin password of oracle Application server.
Below are the steps for reset/change ias_admin password.


You can reset/change ias_admin password in following ways

Step 1. Using Enterprise Manager (Application Server Control) Web Site:

–Login to Instance Home Page (ias-console)

–Click on Preferences on top right

–In new screen, click on “Change Password” on left menu

–Enter current password and New Password

.
2. Using Command line tool

we can also reset password of ias-console for oracle application server :

emctl set password <old_password> <new_password>

like

emctl set password oracle  oracle123(Here oracle is current ias_admin password and oracle123 is new password which you wish to reset)

If you don’t know current ias_admin password then change it in configuration file (And the last which i have faced problem)

.

3. Change ias_admin password directly in configuration file

–Backup /oracle/orainfra/sysman/j2ee/config/jazn-data.xml and /oracle/orabi/sysman/j2ee/config/jazn-data.xml

–Search for entry like below

  <user>
    <name>ias_admin</name>
      <credentials>{903}8QkQ/crno3lX0f3+67dj6WxW9KJMXaCu</credentials>
  </user>

and Update new password (oracle123 like )

  <user>
    <name>ias_admin</name>
      <credentials>!oracle123</credentials>
  </user>

Note ! (Exclamation Mark in front of password. This signifies that password is stored in clear text)

This helped me alot.. Hope it helps you too..

Enjoyy working with Middleware.
