Generating the AS300 portable password file

To install the other components, you must generate a password file from the Database Server to synchronize passwords between the components. The file contains all of the user IDs and passwords for all default IMPAX users. The file must be copied to other components as requested during those installations.

To generate the AS300 portable password file

  1. On the Database Server, open a command prompt.

  2. Change to the C:\mvf\bin\ directory.

  3. Type

    passkey -M EXPORT -k temporary_password

    where temporary_password is the password used to import the password file when installing or configuring the other components.

The password file is created in C:\mvf\mvf.portable.psd.


CAUTION!

CAUTION!

The mvf.portable.psd file contains sensitive information. To ensure that the security of the system is maintained, delete the password file after all required components are installed.
