NOTE: Due to security enhancements, a complex password is generated when exporting the configuration. The password is only displayed once and changes each time the page is viewed. The password must be noted and secured at the time of the configuration export, as it will never be displayed again. The password is required to import the configuration.
Application Pool Identity:
Follow the guidance below to update the Application Pool Identity in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). These credentials can be updated at any time without risk to product configurations and can be performed independently from the Service Account.
Domain Connection Override Account:
Follow the guidance below to update the Override Accounts used in any Domain Connections. Please note that many configurations may not utilize Override Accounts and may instead use the Password Manager Service Account to access the managed domains. These credentials can be updated at any time without risk to product configurations and can be performed independently from the Service Account.
