Our company requires that all passwords must be updated periodically. This includes the passwords use by applications to access SQL databases.
NPM has a SQL DB account and password, so we have to update it every 45 days. Right now this requires shutting down all the Orion services so they don't lock out the account when the p/w changes, changing the DB password, and then running the Orion configurator to update the databases with the new passwords. The configuration takes many minutes to complete. So the Orion services are all down for longer that I'd like.
I would like a simpler mechanism that does not require shutting down the services. There should be a mechanism where we can pause the services, update the DB password, provide the new password to the services and unpause them. Or provide a new password to a GUI have have it update the Active Direcory DB account and then the services so the account is not locked out by the services using the old password.
