External Account Password Change

[japsas100]

Hello,

Do we need to change anything within sas if we change the password of external account like(sas[installer account], sassrv, sasdemo). Please advise?

Yes. You do need to change the passwords for all accounts that have external passwords like  SAS installer account , the first user account (sasdemo) ,the sas spawned server account sassrv).

refer to the 'Update a managed password' section of the Security Administration guide.

Basically there is a specific SAS Deployment Manager task for updating any persisted passwords. Typically the sas install user and sasdemo are not persisted, but sassrv is. The menus will show you what passwords are relevant in your particular environment.
