When we copied our Live DB to Test DB the crystal web service stopped working due to incorrect password IFSSYS password.
Is there an easy way to change the Crystal Web Service password?
Would I need to remove and install the Crystal Web Service again?
Thank you.

Hi
Yes, you could change the password by going to Crystal Server Application Directory and reflecting the changes in the ifs-crystal-config.xml file.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<YOUR_CRYSTAL_INSTANCE>\ifs-crystal-config.xml
1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>2<CRYSTAL_REPORT>3 <DB_USER>ifssys</DB_USER>4 <DB_PASSWORD>YOUR_ENCRYPTED_IFSSYS_PASSWORD_HERE</DB_PASSWORD>5 <PRINT_USER>IFSPRINT</PRINT_USER>6 <PRINT_PASSWORD>YOUR_ENCRYPTED_IFSPRINT_PASSWORD_HERE</PRINT_PASSWORD>7 <ORACLE_TNS>YOUR_TNS_NAME_HERE</ORACLE_TNS>8 <APP_OWNER>IFSAPP</APP_OWNER>9 <IAL_OWNER>IFSINFO</IAL_OWNER>10 <FAILOVER_RETRIES>10</FAILOVER_RETRIES>11 <LOGS>FALSE</LOGS>12 <LOG_LEVEL>HIGH</LOG_LEVEL>13 <LOG_FILE_NAME>C:\inetpub\wwwroot\IFSCRWebSetup\logs\IFSCRWebSetup_logs.log</LOG_FILE_NAME>14</CRYSTAL_REPORT>
You can get the encrypted passwords from the configuration.xml file inside <YOUR_IFS_HOME>\instance\<YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME>\
YOUR_ENCRYPTED_IFSSYS_PASSWORD_HERE = <ifs.system.password.encrypted>
YOUR_ENCRYPTED_IFSPRINT_PASSWORD_HERE = <ifs.ifsprint.password.encrypted>

I changed the passwords using the method you suggested and this hasn’t resolved the issued.

Any ideas?

+18Alternatively, you can run IFS reconfiguration as this will generate anew CWS build ZIP file. You can extract the new ifs-crystal-config.xml and replace the current one. You need to restart IIS Application to pick the new configuration.
+15Hi
Could you check if the System Parameters are updated to reflect the TEST Crystal Server Application Directory?
Cheers !
Dhananjaya.
+10Best approach is to change the ifssys password in the reconfiguration screen so that it can reflect with the database. then get the crystal zip file and reinstall CR web server. that way, it will point the CR config file to correct database and correct credentils to IFSPRINT and IFSSYS as well.
We copied Live to Test as mentioned. And changed the passwords.
Although I used the configuration.xml and copied / paste the encrypted passwords AND re-started IIS, on attempting to log into the database using the passwords I had 1 worked and one didn’t, once the IFSPRINT password was reset and unlocked Crystal Reports started working displaying data.
When attempting to resolve the issue earlier I unlocked IFSPRINT and set it to the password I had noted which was incorrect.
Thank you so much for your help.
p.s. prior to requesting help I had already updated the System Parameters as they were pointing to the wrong server and crystal web service.

John
