Kron PAM can change web application passwords and uses the Selenium extension for web browsers to create a template for the applications. To change the web applications passwords, the password change template should be saved once and the related Vault configuration should be created in the Password Vault.

1. Install the Selenium IDE plugin for Chrome or Firefox browsers.
2. Start the Selenium IDE plugin and start recording a new project.
3. Log in to the web application and change the password of the account.
4. Save the project as a side file.
