The value of servername is presented after Connecting to your server. If you 
move the Configuration to another Server, the real Servername and the 
presented can differ. If you can live with that, this is the easiest way.

You didn't tell us what you mean with Database. If you mean sasldb, there are 
some ways to change the Realm in it. Dump it, change it and reload it.
