Change the password for authentication

To log in to the failover web console, you need to authenticate using a user name and a password.

You cannot change the predefined user name admin. During the configuration of the failover cluster, you must set a password for authentication.

To change the password for authentication:

1. On Node 1, in the notification area, right-click the Management Server Manager tray icon and select Configure failover management server.

2. Select Change password for authentication and then select Continue.

3. On the Change password for authentication page, specify and confirm a new password. Your password must be between 6 and 32 characters in length. You can use a combination of letters, numbers, and the following characters ( ) * _ - .

4. Select Continue to set a new password.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 on Node 2.
