Change the RSA KMS database user password

After you have successfully installed, configured, and verified the entire installation, you might want to change the default password for the account created during the RSA KMS installation.

The RKMUSER user ID or domain user account is used to access the Data Protection Manager Server database. When you change the RKMUSER or domain user account password, you must make the change in SQL Server Management Studio, and the RSA KMS Data Protection Manager Administration Console. The two passwords must always match.
