Goal

This article provides a quick reference on how to modify the password for the SYSMAN user in Enterprise Manager (EM) Grid Control - in the repository database as well as the OMS configuration files. Simply changing the password in the repository database is not sufficient as the password is also stored in the encrypted format in the OMS configuration file. In EM 11g Grid Control, the SYSMAN password is stored in the credential store of the web logic setup.

The OMS uses SYSMAN account to login into the repository database and if there is a mismatch in the password at the database level and the OMS configuration files, the OMS cannot start and function properly.

For EM 12c Cloud Control, refer to <Note 1365930.1>: 12C Cloud Control: Steps to Modify the SYSMAN Password at OMS and Repository.

For EM 13c Cloud Control, see the following reference for instructions on how to change the SYSMAN password:
