Changing your CPS Console password
You can change the Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) Console password at any time. The
password is for logging in to console; it is not specific to any website connection.
Be sure to record
your password somewhere so you don’t forget it.
Tip: If you forget your password, open security.xml in C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Contribute
Publishing Server/jrun4/servers/contribute-wps/contribute/WEB-INF/pubserver/server/. Remove
the content between the password_hash tags and the salt tags, and then save and close the file.
Restart your server, and then you can access the CPS Console without a password so you can set a
new password.
To change your CPS password for a website:
1.
Open the CPS Console (see
“Accessing the Contribute Publishing Server Console” on page 5
).
The CPS Console appears.
2.
Click the Change Password link at the bottom.
The Change Password dialog box appears.
Note: The password is not website-specific, so it doesn’t matter which website is selected when
you click the Change Password link; you are changing the password for the console.
3.
Enter your old password and new password, and then confirm your new password.
4.
Click OK to close the Change Password dialog box.
5.
Close the CPS Console.
