Hello,
NCM configuration backups fail when password expires!
Check out the following page in NCM Settings:
- Admin -> Settings -> NCM Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Network Share Settings:
My organization made a change to policy which does not allow service accounts to use interactive login. The "Validate" or "Submit" buttons on this page will try a Type 2 (interactive login) attempt at the domain in AD. I am prevented from doing this now.
So, what I need is a way to set the domain\username and password without "Validate" or "Submit" on that page, because submit also checks before saving the new settings.
The way to do that could be:
- Find the database entry / table that has the username and password and change it.
- Warning here, it's hard to find and it may be encrypted or otherwise manipulated to be difficult to add or view without further processing.
- Find a NCM job, powershell, etc. that can set the values using one of the DLLs or other programs to set username / password.
- Find a backdoor password file to add this off-line from SolarWinds - maybe a .ini file, a registry setting, etc.?
- Edit the web page above and change the java feature that bypasses or changes the default submit button's function
- javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$BodyContent$ContentPlaceHolder1$adminContentPlaceholder$btnSubmit", "", true, "", "", false, true))
Please let me know if you can think of a way to do this, I need my config backups!!
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. I've tried "regular" ways of doing this - standard backup on the polling engine, folder on the "D" disk, etc. But as I have multiple polling engines which have a portion of the total nodes to poll / monitor, then changes will go to one of the multiple servers only, some back-door process would still need a way to make merge the multiple folders and files together. (mostly kludgy)
