Changing the Password of the RConsoleJ Agent

You can change the agent password to ensure that RConsoleJ sessions are secure.

To change the agent password for a remotely managed NetWare server:

1. At the NetWare Console prompt, enter unload rconag6 to unload rconag6.nlm.

2. Enter rconag6 encrypt.

3. Enter a new password.

4. Enter the TCP port number. The default is 2034.

5. Enter the SPX port number. The default is 16800.

6. Enter the TCP port number for the secure session. The default is 2036.

7. Enter y when prompted to save the following command line in the ldrconag.ncf file.

   If you enter n, the ldrconag.ncf file will not be updated. The new password will be valid only for the current session. At a later time, if you load RCONAG6 from the ldrconag.ncf file later, the previously saved password will be used.

   The new password will be in effect when the agent is loaded from the LDRCONAG script file after you reboot the server.

Alternatively, you can change the password using the following commands:

• For NetWare 5.x:

  LOAD RCONAG6 - E encrypted_password TCP_port_number SPX_port_number

• For NetWare 6.x:

  LOAD RCONAG6 - E encrypted_password TCP_port_number SPX_port_number Secure_port_number
