Unable to access Configuration Manager GUI after change of LDAP Proxy User password by AD team

[ashwanic...@gmail.com]

Dear Sir,

My AD Team has changed the administrator password and as a result of password change i got below error while i am logging in the PWM with normal user or by administrator with new password:

{PWM 5017}Directory unavailable. If this error occurs repeatedly please contact your helpdesk.

I have earlier configured PWM proxy user as administrator with old password (whose password is now changed by AD team). Since now i am unable to login in PWM how can i enter this new AD password in PWM configuration file.

As shown below the PWMConfiguration.xml says that This value is encrypted and can not be edited directly.Please use the Configuration Manager GUI to modify this value.

The problem is that i am unable to login in the PWM(error code-5017) then how can i access the Configuration Manager GUI to enter the new password.


PwmConfiguration.xml file content:
<setting key="ldap.proxy.username" syntax="STRING">
<label>LDAP Proxy User</label>
<value><![CDATA[CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=ABC,DC=IN]]></value>
</setting>
<setting key="ldap.proxy.password" syntax="PASSWORD">
<label>LDAP Proxy Password</label>
<!--Note: This value is encrypted and can not be edited directly.-->
<!--Please use the Configuration Manager GUI to modify this value.-->
<value>tblRArV9/N8UsH0ctj2+oA==</value>
</setting>

I am using PWM version 1.7.1 and Microsoft Active Directory 2008

Regards
Ashwani

In PwmConfiguration.xml change "configIsEditable" to true and restart tomcat.  Then you can get to the config screen without logging in as a user.  You'll still have to enter the configuration password, or change it in the config as Ross Reedstrom posted in this group in another message.
