Issue/Introduction

When  trying reload the external connector servers on the Dashboard Console "External Tools", the process shows  message
"Error fetching list of registered connector servers: Script terminated due to SSH command timeout running command on host 192.168.2.10".

How we can reset the vapp-service user password on 14.2 version ?
 

Environment

Ca Identity Suite Virtual Appliance 14.2 and above

Cause

Developers have implemented the "resetVappServiceAccountPassword" command in CA Identity Suite 14.2 and above to offer the same functionality as HF-INTERNAL-20180214-RECONFIGURE-VAPP-SERVICE-PASSWORD-0001.tgz.gpg in vApp 14.1

Resolution

1. Login to vApp Terminal as "config" user and execute the following command: 

resetVappServiceAccountPassword 

2. Enter a New Password for vapp-service user.
