## How to Regenerate the Security Keys by Changing the Password

You should change the security keys periodically and when they have been compromised. For more information, see “Regenerating Security Keys” in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide.

This process requires you to make manual changes on the Change Manager server and on each managed host controlled by that server.

1. Choose a new password.

2. Update the password on the Change Manager server.

   1. Become superuser on the Change Manager server.

   2. Set the new password.

          # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es_run base-usm-seed.sh -s new_seed \
          -u public

   3. Update the value of `agentseed` in the `/var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/ichange.cfg` file to match the new password.

   4. Restart the Sun Management Center server software on the Change Manager server.

          # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -A

3. Update the password on each managed host.

   1. Become superuser on the managed host.

   2. Set the new password.

          # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es_run base-usm-seed.sh -s new_seed \
          -c agent -u public

   3. Restart the Sun Management Center agent on the managed host.

          # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -A
