I've been searching for the information on how to change the axlocaladmin (or other sql user passwords) for the virtual machine with no luck.
I noticed that the passwords cannot be changed from the LCS and understood that they should be changed within the VM but what are the steps exactly?
Thank you in advance,
Mika Hartio
I would say the easiest and cheapest path is to deploy a new machine and hope that the password on that machine doesn't have "=" sign.
If you change the password on an existing VM, you will break any maintenance activity (such as installing a platform update) that LCS attempts to do.
Dear Blue,
I am aware of these threads. However, the general suggested solution (J:\AOSService\webroot\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Framework.ConfigEncryptor.exe -decrypt "J\AOSService\webroot\web.config") does not work for me as I get an error message in the cmd stating that the license has been expired.
André states in the thread you linked that:
"there can be an issue when the password contains a '=' character. This is something that is fixed in a later version. You can check if you have such password for the SQL user(s) and possibly try to change it. Or deploy a new VM, hoping for a password generation without this character."
This is exactly why I am looking for how to actually change the password.
Best regards,
Mika
Dear Blue,
I would like to change the password because I am facing the following error:
"Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.InvalidConnectionStringException: Failed to set database connection string. ---> System.ArgumentException: The value's length for key 'password' exceeds it's limit of '128'."
I'm trying to find out how to manually change the password.
(My demo environment is expired and thus the decryption of the web config file does not work for the error above)
My system apparently runs a version that occasionally faces this error when the VM password contains the letter "=".
Thanks,
Mika
