Defining the Utility Database Password

To use the utility database, you must specify the user ID DBA.

  1. With a text editor, 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 control who has access to the password.

  2. Edit the following line, replacing the word “password” with the desired password:
    [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.
