Login Account changed password, webservice cannot run

casanova

Hi All
I used Administrator (domain ID) as Login account for my Dynamic Nav Server
once I change the password then my web service cannot run
after i change back to old password then can run

how to run my webservice using my new password?
if i restart the service, will it solve my problem?
thanks

Hi casanova,

The Suggested way to configure any services is -
1. Create a Domain User account to Run Services with Password Expiration Policy to never Expires.
2. Provide Super Rights to the User Account on Navision.

use that account to RUN Services (Web and Navision Service).

I hope others would agree to the above approach.

hi postsaurav,
thanks for your reply
anyway because we already created nav admin account
this account is only for nav
and because some of the users already know this password, so we think we need to change this password
after we change password, all user cannot use web service

Hi casanova,

Yes that will happen whenever you change the password because -

1. The Service is configured with a user name and password.
2. If the Password is changed the service is unable to Connect because of Wrong Credential at the service.

And that is why the services get stopped (not accessible by any user).

** Change the password for the service user account and don't share it with any of the user.

Postsaurav is right.

To change the password, go to the list of services (e.g. from Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services), find the required service, right-click and go to Properties, go to the Log On tab, enter the new password there and click OK.
Then restart the service.
