Changing the password of an LDAP bind user

If you are using Active Directory to validate users, LifeCycle Manager gives a warning in advance when the password of the LDAP bind user will expire. The number of days is determined by the ldap.days.before.password.expiration property.

When the password of the LDAP bind user expires, no user can log on to the LifeCycle Manager. Therefore, it is important that you change the password of the bind user before it expires.

Note: The bind user password cannot end with @

After changing the password of the bind user in the domain, edit lcm.properties and enter the new password in the property ldap.bind.password.x . You must specify the password in clear text. It is encrypted when the LifeCycle Manager Server is restarted. See information about LifeCycle Manager LDAP settings in M3 Core Installation Planning Guide.
