Goal

You are attempting to change the E-Business Suite GUEST user password. There are various methods listed on Metalink but you are unsure of which way to go.

This document describes the current 'supported' and 'recommended' method to change the GUEST user password across all areas of the application.

The following method should be used, unless specifically instructed otherwise by Oracle Support

Solution

To change the GUEST password follow the instructions below:

1. As the "applmgr" Unix user make sure the appropriate environment files are sourced

2. Use the AutoConfig editor to change the context value for the guest password, described in Note 165195.1 "Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle Applications 11i"

AutoConfig variable name is "s_guest_pass"
3. Run AutoConfig

4. Verify the new guest password as follows:

select fnd_web_sec.validate_login('GUEST','') from dual;

this script should return 'Y'

5. Change the guest password used for diagnostics as described in Note 235307.1 "eBusiness Support Diagnostics FAQ and Troubleshooting Guide" and summarized below:

a. Login to applications as SYSADMIN user and choose "CRM HTML Administration" responsibility. (If you don't see this responsibility, it may be end dated for SYSADMIN user.)

b. Then follow this path and correct the GUEST password.

Settings : System : Properties

Choose JTF from the "View" LOV.
Look for guest_password and correct it

6. Stop / Start Apache
