Another way to have client applications work with dynamically changed passwords is by restarting the client apps with the new passwords after an SAPM account password has been changed. AAPM Triggers are defined for this purpose. When defined, the Password Vault connects to the server running the client apps and restarts the apps with the new password.


To define AAPM Triggers:

1. Navigate to **AAPM Management **> **AAPM Management**.
2. Open the **AAPM Triggers** tab.
3. Select the SAPM account used to trigger a restart after the SAPM account password change.
4. Select the** Strategy**.
5. Select the target type as either **Single Device** or **Bulk**.
6. Select a device if you selected Single Device target type, or select the **Device Group **and the **Element Type** if **Bulk **target type is selected and click **Save**.

When an SAPM account password changes and an AAPM Trigger is set off, an **AAPM Trigger Process **record is created for each matching device, associated with the relevant **AAPM Trigger **definitions. To search for these process records, use the **AAPM Trigger Process **tab:

1. Navigate to **AAPM Management **> **AAPM Management**.
2. Open the **AAPM Trigger Process** tab.
3. Fill in the related fields and click **Search**.

The initial status of this process is **Waiting**. To trigger this process at a specific time, the **AapmTriggerProcessJob** job must be defined in the **Jobs Scheduler**:

1. Navigate **Administration** > **Jobs Scheduler**.
2. Open the **Trigger List** tab.
3. Select **AapmTriggerProcessJob** as the Job.
4. Fill in the **Trigger Name** and **Cron Expression** fields.
5. To enable the job, select **Enabled** for the **Active **field and click **Save**.

Regardless of how many **AAPM Triggers** are set, running only one **AAPM Trigger Process Job** is enough to run all triggers.

To define the AAPM Strategy:

1. Navigate to **AAPM Management**.
2. Open the** Configuration** tab.
3. Click the **Options** button to Show Properties.
4. Define the properties.

***Samba Strategy:***

| **weblogic.admin.port**      | If $ \{devicePort} is written for weblogic.admin.port, the information of the device defined by the sapm side is used. |
| **weblogic.admin.username**  | User information connecting to Weblogic.                                                                               |
