Change the +policyfetcher Password

The +policyfetcher account executes the policyfetcher daemon or service, which looks for deployment tasks on the DH, applies policy updates to the local CA ControlMinder database (seosdb), and sends a heartbeat to the DH at regular intervals. CA ControlMinder uses a SPECIALPGM rule to define +policyfetcher as a system user. +policyfetcher runs as the NT Authority\System user in Windows.

You may need to regularly change the +policyfetcher password to comply with your organization's security and password policies.

Before you change the +policyfetcher password, note the following:

Important! To prevent this user from logging in to the CA ControlMinder database, we recommend that you do not set a password for this user.

To change the +policyfetcher password, use selang to change the password.
