GW6.5 WebAccess-Change eDirectory Authentication

[gillis]

Hello,

We recently upgraded to NW6.5 and due to some problems had to reinstall Web Access. I inadvertently used the Netware Admin user/p.w. during installation so WebAccess now expects that user to authenticate(install summary shows it as the eDirectory user). No problem except I want to change the Admin password. When I do, then load GWWeb, it tries to authenticate using the old password and eventually creates an intruder lockout. The only way I've found to deal with it is to clear the intruder lockup and return to old p.w., then it's happy.

Is there a way to modify the existing installed configuration or is the authentication info. I gave it at time of installation permanently "hard-wired" into the config?

Hindsight says I should not have used the Admin credentials to install an app. and will definitely change that if I can modify the install config.

Thanks for any help,

JGiles

It will take maybe 15 minutes to just reinstall the thing and put the right password in place. I seldom waste time troubleshooting Webaccess if I suspect that a reinstall will solve the prob.

it's in the ncf

the strtweb

Thanks for the interest - as usual I should have looked more closely before giving up. It appears that 6.5 places the config. information in a file "referenced by" the STRTWEB.ncf file.

That other file is editable so the username/p.w. can be changed. Tried it and it worked.

Thanks terry712 - were it not for the Admin guide I finally looked in, your clue would have led me there.
