Windows COM+ Objects Strategy
In this section, we will explain how to change the password of the users defined in Windows COM+ and DCOMM+ services with the help of Application Configuration and Trigger.
Component Services information must be configured for this option, and the following example must be used.
- Navigate to Secrets > Configurations menu > Application Configuration.
- Click the +Add Button and Enter parameters.
As explained in the above sections, when 'Windows COM+ Services' is selected as the Strategy Type for the WinRM method, the parameters will be displayed on the screen as in Windows IIS App Pools and Scheduled Task configurations. The WinRM port and authentication method must be entered similarly to the IIS and Scheduled Task definitions.
- Navigate to Secrets >Application Management screen.
- Add a new trigger.
- Click the +Add button.
A new Trigger Adding popup will appear.
With this definition, when the password of the Vault account is changed, reset, or updated,
COM+ Application trigger is defined so that the password defined for the trigger is also changed automatically.
- Enter the name of the trigger in the Name field.
- Select the Application Configuration with the defined name above the definition value like Windows COM + Applications.
- In the COM+ Applications Name field, the same application name value defined in COM+ Applications in Windows must be entered. Otherwise, the password value will not change because the system will not find the relevant application of COM+.
- The Vault Account defined in Password Vault, whose password needs to be changed, must be selected.
- If the user defined for the Vault account is an authorized user to make changes on COM+ Applications, the Use Authentication User switch box is turned off. If it is not an authorized user, in this case, the Name and Password information of the Administrator user must be entered in the relevant fields.
- The target Type value should be selected as Single Device.
- Device information where COM+ Applications are installed and the device to be modified must be selected.
- Click the Save button then the configuration will be completed.
After the definition is completed, the Vault screen must be opened, and the Vault account must be selected. Whenever the Vault account is selected and the 'Update' or 'Reset Password' option is clicked, a trigger will be created as explained in the previous sections, and a password change will be performed.
