Hi,
I want to change informix group pasword of baan .
How can I change it

baan IV c3 ,informix DS 7.31 on HP -UX

Thanks
Caner

In my view this is not really recommended, you can get into lots of problems doing it.

And why does it need changing?

I have seen that some users knows the passwd and they are using it with sql editor . this is too dangerous . they have full permission to the database .

thanks

opps! Nasty. Well changing the password is the same as changing a user password, but it can have effects on the way baan works (you have to change the password but can get yourself into a problem, ie, when do you change it. Before and no access, after and... no access!). So can be a problem very quickly, easy and far less complicated would be to just take any form of SQL editor off the users who are causing the problem.

Just change the Informix user password the normal way with passwd.

As far as I can remember there was nothing else to do, I certainly had no problem after changing it.

You might need to check that the password is not being used for report packages using iconnect on PC clients.

No wrong, you must also update the encrypted password in your $BSE/lib/inf/inf_groups file. You can do this using the utility $BSE/bin/inf_admin6.1
