pretty normal procedure when locking down environments,(stigging) can't have a
password that does not expire. What ever they set it to, log into outlook and
set yourself a reminder, have remedy send an email a couple days before it
expires too if you like. so you can then coordinate with dba to change it
togethor.

Alan,It is my understanding that changing the PW in the conf file, and
restarting remedy will re-encrpyt the password once started up...so changing it
in the conf file I believe is a valid option....but honestly, a policy that
intentionally takes a service offline because of mandatory without warning
password changes sounds a bit insane.

Remedy 7.6.04/Oracle installation - at a Govt facility that shall remain
nameless, the Oracle db admins are mandated to change password at intervals. --
doing this without warning. This means that one cannot access the Remedy tools.
(And change the Oracle password stored there), Catch 22.
I had proposed using API to modify the Oracle password field in the appropriate
tab of the ' server info form' - but this it seems is not good enough-the
ars.conf file has to be changed.
Any suggestions?
