Change the password NCM uses to log into nodes.

All of our network switches and routers use TACACS to authenticate users.

We have configured a connection profile that NCM uses to connect to all our switches and routers.

We need to change the password of the username that Solarwinds uses in the connection profile. We can easily do that on our TACACs server and in the connection profile, but it seems that simply changing the profile doesn't automatically update all the nodes to use the new password. Instead, our TACACS server is overwhelmed with many many many invalid logins using the credentials. If we reset the credential password back to the old one, the problem goes away but of course we haven't changed our password.

What is the correct procedure to change the NcM credentials password and make sure all nodes use the new password?

In that case redeploy the profile to all the devices - MY DASHBOARDS -> NETWORK CONFIGURATION -> Configuration Management, select the nodes in bulk - Edit properties, select the profile, SUBMIT and you are done, this shouldn't take much time provided you have a naming convention for your profiles.

Hope this helps.
