Password reset activity

[sana.khatib]

Hi All,

I need help with the following issue:
Our company has come up with a new rule to reset all the passwords for all applications across the entire organization. The challenge is that there are no service account, all are local system account on the CQ server and the database server as well. Also ClearCase is hosted on the same server.
The transition from the previous administrator was not smooth hence I dont have all that information.
Kindly help me with where I should be looking for the account for which the passwords should be reset.

Also we have this one id which is being used on the CQ server, but we are not able to trace as to where this id is used. Where can I find any information regarding this.

Also what can be the risk if the passwords are reset.

Will the licesing or the LDAP authentication be affected?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

It depends on your environment, and on the scope of the password change.

Will the licesing or the LDAP authentication be affected?

There would be no impact on licensing, but if you need to reset password for the LDAP binding account, LDAP authentication will be impacted.
You will have to change this password for all ClearQuest schema repositories utilizing LDAP authentication.

Thank you for your reply.

All I can say is all passwords will be reset. Except for the user passwords. All the user id's used by the administrators.

You can run a ClearQuest query on "users" record type and set filer for "is_superuser" field equal to "1"
