Modifying the AGRIS COM Services Password

To change an existing installation of AGRIS to use a different password, complete the following sections:

Change the password for the 'Services' user

  1. Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Control Panel" >"Administrative Tools" > "Active Directory Users and Computers"

  2. Click on the 'Users' folder

  3. Find the existing 'Services' user

  4. Right-click on the 'Services' user and select "Reset Password..."

  5. Change the password as desired

  6. Close Active Directory Users and Computers

 

Update the AGRIS COM+ Applications to use the new 'Services' password

  1. Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Control Panel" > "Administrative Tools" > "Component Services" (for Windows Server 2012, click Start and type DCOMCNFG at the search option)

  2. Double-click on "Component Services" > "Computers" > "My Computer" > "COM+ Applications"

  3. Right-click on "Agris_ABS" > "Properties" 

  4. Click on the "Identity" tab 

  5. Modify the Password and Confirm Password fields to reflect the new password 

  6. Click Apply and OK

  7. Repeat steps 3-6 for the remaining AGRIS COM+ applications (typically 4 or 5 altogether).  

  8. The new settings will take effect once the server is rebooted or all of the AGRIS COM+ objects are shut down and restarted.  All users must be out of AGRIS before the COM+ objects are shut down.  If necessary, the username can also be changed in this tab if the account has already been setup in Active Directory Users and Computers.

Comments

  • Other things to consider for the 'services' user: The ‘services’ user can be any username and any password, but should be an account that will never logon to a desktop session of Windows at the database server itself. The services user should be a domain user and it should be added to either the Administrators group or the Local Administrators group depending on if the database server is an active directory server or a member server respectively.
