Qlik Service account password expire

[RickyK]

Hello All,

Greetings for the Day!!

Need some suggestions on QlikView/Qlik Sense service account passwords expire:

Our Qlik service accounts that have been identified as a potential security risk. So we need to change the password.

What is the Impact if the Qlik service account password expires? Tq!

For QlikView there should not be any additional steps. 

How to change the password for the service user in Qlik Sense documented here,

Hi Maria Halley,

Thanks for your input on this and this is really helpful.

But, I wanted to know the impact if we don't change/Reset the password within the time period.

Do you mean that you don't change it in the services, but it does get changed in the AD?

If the password for the service user is not valid, the systems will stop working.

Let me know if I am still misunderstanding the question.
