Defining the Utility Database Password

Define the user ID DBA for the utility database.

  1. Use a text editor to open the file util_db.ini, which is stored in the server executable directory.

    Because this directory is on the server, you can control access to the file, and thereby also control who has access to the password.

  2. Locate this line, and replace "password" with the password you want to use:
    [UTILITY_DB]
    PWD=password

    Use of the utility_db security level relies on the physical security of the computer hosting the database server, since the util_db.ini file can be easily read using a text editor.
