Instructions for changing the credentials used by Xoom Service to access Service Optmization.

Credentials are read whenever Xoom Service starts, and are used by Xoom to connect to Service Optimization.

Credentials can be found in the file called XoomParams.xml which is located in the Xoom Folder.

Service Optimization requires four credentials:
  • Username
  • Password
  • Domain
  • ServerUri


All but Password can be changed simply by altering the XML file, saving it, and restarting Xoom Service. The Password, however, is encrypted and must be changed from the command line. Note that passwords and parameters are case sensitive.

  1. Launch command line and change to the Xoom folder.
  2. Run the following: XoomToolkit parameter --set --encrypted Product.W6.Password MyNewPassword, replacing MyNewPassword with the password string you want to use.
    • the parameter name is Product.W6.Password
    • --encrypted specifies that the password will be stored in an encrypted form.

      Once any parameter is encrypted, there is no way to get its value out of Xoom. It is only usable internally by Xoom.

  3. To change any of the other credentials using command line, run the following respectively:
    • XoomToolkit parameter --set Product.W6.Username MyNewUsername
    • XoomToolkit parameter --set Product.W6.Domain MyNewDomain
    • XoomToolkit parameter --set Product.W6.ServerUri MyNewServerUri

    These parameters should not be encrypted.

  4. Restart Xoom Service.
