Update database without pushing policy?

[evo22]

I have a remote user account (SecureClient) that I need to reset a password on but don't want to push policy. Is there a way to update the database to make the new password reset stick?

Thank you in advance....

Yes there is

• By default, the option to install the User Database on a Security Gateway is disabled.


Solution






To enable the option to install the User Database on a Security Gateway, proceed as follows:
1. Run cpstop on the SMARTCenter Server.
2. Backup the objects_5_0.C file located in $FWDIR/conf.
3. Open objects_5_0.C.
Note: It is recommended that you use dbedit or GUIdbedit to modify the objects_5_0.C file.
4. Find :allow_install_users_db_on_module (false) and change the value "false" to "true".
5. Save the file.
6. Rename or delete any files named objects_5_0.C.bak or objects_5_0.C.backup located in $FWDIR/conf.
7. Run cpstart.

Now, you can install the database on Security Gateways, as well as on the SMARTCenter Server.


Requires using the Guidbedit tool but does work.
