General description of SITA password updating

Under new SITA requirements it is necessary to make updating of the SITA password not less often than 1 time in 120 days. The new password should correspond to the following requirements:

• password length is 6 - 8 symbols
• in 1 and 5 positions of SITA password there should be digites
• in other positions there should be letters A..Z

Attention ! For SITA password updating it is necessary PID for transfer a command to Gabriel system. This PID should work with the old password and should be connected to a key for which the password varies. Therefore, before password updating procedure, it is necessary to make sure, that PID works with Gabriel system correctly. For this purpose, for example, you can open session with this PID in the UTS Access program and make shure that this PID works with Gabriel. After this, select this PID in the UPDATE SITA PASSWORD form from "By using PID" dropdown list.

• If some PIDs use the same SITA password and the same KEY from KEY Records table, then to change the password it is necessary once PID from anyone PIDs list. After password was replacement from selected PID, then PIDs which have the same KEY value will have the same password. 
• If agency uses PID for different airlines that, it is necessary to change the password for EACH airline.
• If the agency uses passwords in Shared KEY mode, then procedure of password change is carried out ONLY by the main agency (the owner of SITA password).
• SITA USERID does not change - changes (is updated) the SITA Password only

Attention ! Before password updating check up correctness of that PID, through which password replacement will be carried out. After that - necessarily close session with given PID and start procedure of the password updating.

Attention !  If password SITA is not changed in 120 days - the old password will be blocked and for reactivating of this password it will be possible only through airline configuration office. The airline will change this password through Gabriel security table.
