[cisco-voip] DB password change Best practices

[Ovidiu Popa]

  Anyone ?

My client insist on changing the password himself after deployment.

We have a 3 server cluster. Can we change the database password without 
any issues ?

The installation guide lists the "set password security"command to use 
however it is not listed in the CUCM 8.x command line reference.

Extract from the installation guide
"Yes, you can change the entry after installation by using the following 
CLI command:

CLI > set password security


Caution    To avoid losing communications between nodes, you must change 
the Security password on all nodes in a cluster and reboot all of the 
nodes.
For more information, refer to the description of this command in the 
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unifed Communications 
Solutions. "

Wondering if it was just forgotten in the command reference or perhaps 
there are other reasons ...



Thanks for any feedback

Regards,
Ovidiu
