fix
When a password change is attempted, a password sync request is sent from VigilEnt User Manager (VUM) to VigilEnt Core Services. Then, a change password request is sent from VigilEnt Core Services to all of the applicable managed VigilEnt agents. If the password sync fails, it will send another request. You can control the retry and query count and delay times by performing the following steps.
To set password sync retries, follow these steps:
- Using Microsoft Windows Explorer, open the
ProgramFiles\Pentasafe\Core
directory, whereProgramFiles\Pentasafe
is the path to where you installed VigilEnt Core Services and/or VigilEnt Security Manager. - Locate and open the
mk.options
file.Note: Open the
mk.options
file using a text editor, such as Notepad. - Edit the
mk.options
file as needed. See the table below. - Save and close the file.
- Restart VigilEnt Core Services for the changes to take effect.
