Administering credentials files

As part of ongoing solution administration, you can change the settings in the credentials.conf file.

If you modify the file you must:

1. Re-run credentials.pl and re-generate the file based on the updated engine.conf files.
2. Change the credentials.conf file itself and then re-run credentials.pl on the existing file.
