When an error occurs, for example after a password expires, you must manually reset the password in the component. After you reset the password in a component, you must remediate the password in SDDC Manager to update the password in the SDDC Manager database and the dependent Cloud Foundation workflows.
To resolve any errors that might have occurred during password rotation or update, you must use password remediation. Password remediation syncs the password of the account stored in the SDDC Manager with the updated password in the component.
Although the individual VMware Cloud Foundation components support different password requirements, you must set passwords following a common set of requirements across all components. For information on updating passwords manually, see Manually Update Passwords.
Prerequisites
- Verify that VMware Cloud Foundation system contain no failed workflows. To check for failed workflows, click Dashboard in the navigation pane and expand the Tasks pane at the bottom of the page.
- Verify that no workflows are running or are scheduled to run while you remediate the password.
- Only a user with the ADMIN role can perform this task. For more information about roles, see User and Group Management.
