Unable to update password in Data Source.

[Nithya Devi]

Hi,

I am facing an issue in my instances with a data sources record where the XML file is retrieved from MFT location.

App Scope-Global

Table-Data Source(Group Reference)

Field type-password(2 way encrypted)

Dictionary attribute-is_legacy_password2=true.

When i enter a new password in the password field of Group Reference data source- and click update,the record loads but the password remains unchanged(old value).No error message is shown.I have admin with security admin role.

what might be the cause that fails to update the new password,and how to fix this.Could anyone suggest your views on this..

Thanks.

With Regards,

Nithya

when i run on my instance,the script executes but not working on my pdi. passowrd displayed as the output is new password(updated one).It has 12 characters.But in the data source it has only 10 characters.That's why i am confused..

Do you have any idea,why the import is throwing an error..

@Nithya Devi What you see on UI are dots which are static, even if you enter the password of 8 characters, the dots number will remain same.

As explained earlier dots are just representation the password is stores in encrypted form.
