Update Database Account

Description

The updateAdminAccount operation changes the database administrator account credentials. By default, the initial administrator account you define during the Create Site operation is used as the database administrator account. To change just the password for the account, provide the password parameter. If you want to create a completely new account for the database, provide new values for the username and password parameters.

Note:

Updating the credentials for the database administrator account will cause both the database and the portal to be restarted.
