Powershell script for password update on managed system

Create new propagation action for HANA SAP service account to update passwd through shell script

Hi Chitta,

BT does not support any external scripts, you need to take help of PowerShell engineer to deploy the scripts on target system as per the service account usecase. Propagation helps to call the target scripts to automatically update the password and run the service account.

HANA SAP use case maybe unique to your environment, and a solution cannot be provided without having in-depth knowledge of the environment. Below article has examples of how you can write PowerShell or Shell scripts to update passwords on managed systems using propagation actions.

Similarly, I have the issue where we need to update the password of a config file in a drive and i need to change only password in it. I am able to use the script to change password manually and its getting changed but unable to get it changed through passwordsafe. i have put %p in double quotes and also tried in single quotes still not able to get the password pulled. what am i doing wrong?

Bellow my Password Safe configurations:
 

Every time the script runs, it creates a file with the log, if worked and what password was used, it might help you understand if the propagation are even getting to the script.

The way its configured i can even run longer passwords, like 100 chars.
