From time to time you may find it necessary to update the service account credentials used by RapidIdentity to access your third party systems. This may need to be done in regards to a recurring credential change as part of your security policy, or even a response to an unplanned security incident. It is best to know how to quickly and effectively change these credentials with the least amount of service interruption.
Note:These instructions are for RapidIdentity Cloud only.
- Login to your RapidIdentity Cloud Tenant
- Select Connect from the Top Dropdown Menu
- Select Files from the left menu options (Be sure the Project selecter is set to Main)
- Select the SharedGlobals.properties file and click the Edit button on the bottom action bar
- Locate the service account credentials that need to be updated
In our example, we are going to change the Active Directory password for the idautoadmin account. The current entry looks like this:
# AD credentials
adAdmin=idautoadmin
adPassword=decrypt(7Y7tYq3w=.tuAlHMEMaTj3FJWR7Sz7zQ==|EfRfAZ8ibJaCDFmadyMf8OLrJVQNmwWms/QrwMP7BaZ1SOivfr67Y7tYq3w=.tuAlD1+844vU4B3VTIPlQ/leEGulNgz2nFUINTbdrLxSw81/vZ)
- Replace the decrypt(...) section with encrypt(NEWPASSWORD)
# AD credentials
adAdmin=idautoadmin
adPassword=encrypt(MyNewPassword123!)
- Click the Save button on the bottom action bar
