Hi,
Please see the details given below.
Current Situation:
Application Version: IFS 10 UPD 22
The Active Directory (AD) service account used for IFS Middleware and Database servers is currently configured with the “Password Never Expires” policy.
Proposed Change:
The IT team plans to convert this dedicated service account for IFS servers into a Managed Service Account and enforce the company’s password policy (e.g., complex password requirements and expiration every 12 months). This may also involve changing the current password.
Questions:
Will changing the password of this service account impact the availability or functionality of the IFS Application?
If there is no immediate impact, what happens if the password expires before it is reset—will this affect IFS Application availability?
We would greatly appreciate expert feedback on these concerns.
Thank you!
Kind Regards
Thilochana
