Changing Access Account

To access a managed AD LDS instance, you can use the Password Manager Service account, an Active Directory account or an AD LDS account. For more information on how to configure the access account, see Configuring Permissions for Access Account. Password Manager Service account is the account that was configured during Password Manager installation. Password Manager Service account may be used as the access account only when the Service account has all required permissions.

  1. On the Administration site, select the Management Policy you want to configure and click the User Scope link.
  2. On the User Scope page, select the connection for which you want to change access account and click Edit.
  3. On the User Scope Settings for #Application Directory Partition# page, click Edit.
  4. In the Access account section of the Edit AD LDS Instance Connection dialog, select Password Manager Service account to have Password Manager access the managed instance using the Password Manager Service account. Otherwise, select The following Active Directory account or The following AD LDS account and then enter the required user name and password.
  5. Click Save and select how you want to apply the updated settings. You can either apply the new settings for this user scope only, or everywhere where this connection is used.
