Changing BD password - NOT dbadmin user

EmmanuelG

Someone with more experience in Vertica to answer my question to the following scenario, if when installing the database I put a password to the DB in the admintools, is it possible to change that DB password in the future?

SruthiA

dbadmin user password is used to start and stop the database. could you please share more information on scenario?

SruthiA

yes it is possible. It is better to open a support case when you plan to change the dbadmin password.

Hi Sruthia, but I don't want to change the password of the dbadmin, the password to which I refer is the one of the DB that is the one that asks us when we stop and start the DB, I don't know if I understand. In my case I have a different password for the dbadmin and another one for the DB.

Thanks Sruthia, I'm beginner in Vertica you're right. I tested it in my lab, changing the pass to the user dbadmin and it is the same password with which I start the DB.
