  1. Change the administrative user credentials using the tools provided with the database product that you are using.

    • DB2® Configuration Assistant

    • To update the reference to the administrative user credentials that you just changed, change the credential information for the corresponding J2C authentication alias. In the WebSphere® Application Server administration console, select Security > Global security.

  2. In the Authentication area, expand Java Authentication and Authorization Service, and click J2C authentication data.
