System services did not update or restart after password or SSH key change
If the system services do not update or restart after an automatic password or SSH key change, first check your audit logs in the Activity Center.
If the audit logs do not adequately explain the problem, then check the options on the Change password or Change SSH key tab of the profile that governs the service account.
- Navigate to Asset Management | Partitions.
- Select a partition then click Password Profiles or SSH Key Profiles.
- Double-click the selection in the grid.
- On the profile dialog, go to the Change Password or Change SSH Key tab.
For service accounts that run system services or scheduled system tasks, verify the options on the profile's Change password tab or Change SSH Key tab that enable or disable automatic service update, or restart. You must update the setting to change these options.
