Hi Gabriel,

To change the password of the database, open the management console, select the repository, right click (see image 1), select the option  "Change DBMS Connection ...."  (see Image 2), and change the password .

 

best regards,

Marco.

Oh jeez. I forgot all about that method. I always setup mine with windows authentication so I don't even remember the last time it was db auth! :)

It depends on how you have your connection setup. 

 

If you are using SQL authentication, you'd need to do it inside sql. 

If you are using Windows authentication, you'd need to change the windows login.

If you are using SYSTEM as the 'user' there is no resetting it, as there is not really a password being used. 

 

This is where you find out what you are using:

 

 

If it is something\something, it's a windows login. 

If it's one word that is NOT 'SYSTEM', it's probably a SQL server password. 

If it's SYSTEM, ignore it, or set up a user with login as a service right & setup security in the SQL server to allow that user. 


Assuming it's windows, the easiest way to change the password is to stop the laserfiche service, log on as that user and change the password, then open up services,msc, right click on the laserfiche service and choose properties, then go to the logon as tab where you can change it. After you do this you will need to start the service again. 

 

If its using sql authentication (such as the user 'sa') then it's a bit more complex. You'll have to change it in sql manager then unregister and reregister the repository. I do not think there's a way to do this without reregistering it.

 

For workflow it's fairly easy. You can just rerun the 1st part of the workflow setup and change the password. When running the setup it'll keep all of your current settings and fill them in, so you just need to change what's new. 

For forms, you'd use the configuration tool to change things.
