Password synchronization
Password synchronization changes your Partner Manager password on all Partner Manager databases if it is changed in any.
The databases can be from different venders, for example, a test Access database and a production DB2 database. This synchronizes the Partner Manager password only, not the password associated with the database. Database passwords are controlled by the database vender's tools, so they cannot be synchronized by Partner Manager.
Three conditions control this feature:
- Condition 1 - Database profiles must be defined (found on the Database Settings dialog). The passwords are changed in the databases defined in these profiles.
- Condition 2 - The user being changed must exist in those databases defined.
- Condition 3 - The Security Group Parameter labeled Allow Password Synchronization must be checked "on" for the current user running Partner Manager. This feature is "off" for new installations or upgrades. This parameter is found in the Utilities, Security Groups section labeled General Access.
- in User Edit, when a user is created or modified
- through the Change Password popup
If a password is changed in either of the two forms, check the checkbox labeled Run Password Synchronization After Save to begin this procedure. When a password gets changed and this checkbox is checked, the system will attempt to find that user in all selected Database profiles and then change the password to the value just set.
