Automatic password change of MID Server Service Users possible?
During the installation of a MID server, the password of the service user must be entered once.
This is the internal integration user, which must then also contain the “mid_server” role.
Is there a possibility to change the PW for this user automatically?
If not, how would you change the PW manually?
Do you have to overwrite the conf or wrapper file?
Does this work with the encryption?

Hi,

Are you referring to the user account that allows access between the MID and the SN instance, or the domain user that runs the service behind the MID process?

 

For the MID instance user, you'd update the username in the instance and then access the config.xml via RDP to update it. You'd then need to restart the MID service

 

For the domain user, you'd need to orchestrate the process similar to the above. Have a domain admin reset the user password, and then you'd change the password within services.msc

 

Both have none-password solutions.

  • For MID instance user, mutual authentication can be used
  • for domain user, Managed Service Account (MSA) can be used
