Changing the Password of an Operation User

Scenario

Passwords of Human-machine system users must be regularly changed to ensure MRS cluster security. This section describes how to change passwords on MRS Manager.

If a new password policy needs to be used for the password modified by the user, follow instructions in Modifying a Password Policy to modify the password policy and then perform the following operations to modify the password.

The operations described in this section apply only to clusters of versions earlier than MRS 3.x.

For clusters of MRS 3.x or later, see Changing a User Password.

  2. On MRS Manager, move the mouse cursor to in the upper right corner.
