2 Usage

To start PCT, hold the Shift key and right-click the PasswordChangeTool.exe file and select Run as different user. Enter domain administrator credentials to start the tool. If you do not intend to change Active Directory passwords, you can select Run as administrator and enter local administrator credentials instead.

If you are changing the MyID COM+ user, you must run the PCT as a user who has the ability to set permissions for SQL Server users on the MyID database.

Note: Tool-tips are available on the form.

By default, the PCT log file is saved in the same directory as the executable; however, you can update the Log.config file in the tool folder to give it a different file path.

To change the log file path, edit the value of the file parameter:

<file value="PasswordChangeTool.log" />

The recommended and fastest method of updating all MyID passwords using the PCT is as follows:

On the MyID application server:

  1. Start PCT.
  2. Carry out section 2.1, Working with Active Directory accounts to simulate and perform setting the AD password and MyID password for the MyID COM+ user.
  3. Carry out section 2.1, Working with Active Directory accounts to simulate and perform setting the AD password and MyID password for the IIS user.
  4. Carry out section 2.1, Working with Active Directory accounts to simulate and perform setting the AD password and MyID password for the Web Services user.
  5. If you are using SQL authentication, carry out section 2.2, Working with SQL accounts to simulate and perform setting the SQL password for the SQL secure authentication user.
  6. Exit PCT.

Important: If you are changing the password for the Web Services user, you must make the change on the application server before you make the change on the web server or web services server.

If your system has multiple web servers, or if the web services are installed on a separate server to the web site, you must update all web servers and web services servers.

On the MyID web server or web services server:

  1. Start PCT.
  2. Carry out section 2.1, Working with Active Directory accounts to simulate and perform setting the MyID password for the IIS user.
  3. Carry out section 2.1, Working with Active Directory accounts to simulate and perform setting the MyID password for the Web Services user.
  4. Exit PCT.
