I had to change my Yellowfin Metadata database password.

How do I tell YF to use the new password as it's no longer connecting.

Modifying the Yellowfin DB connection parameters is just a matter of modifying the web.xml file, as listed in the following article.

There are 2 parameters to look at JDBCPassword & JDBCPasswordEncryption

The parameter you're after is the ;

      <param-name>JDBCPassword</param-name>
      <param-value>42HbJ5JSRBH1b4SqTTMo1Q==</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>JDBCPasswordEncrypted</param-name>
     <param-value>true</param-value>

There are 2 ways to go about this;

Option 1
Change the JDBCPasswordEncrypted from 'true' to 'false'
Then update the JDBCPassword to whatever the password is meant to be
Option 2
Get your plain text password
Encrypt your password
Then update the JDBCPassword with the new encrypted password

Start/Re-Start Yellowfin.
