Hi,
Next scenario triggers below bug: User download and install proof build (user agent). User change his password in LDAP. Proof build is not able to authenticate because the password has been changed in LDAP but on local PC in the useragent->node.properties->token kept unchanged. Thanks, Maxim |

| This is expected behavior. User needs to run "<user agent install dir>/bin/config.(bat|sh)" to tell the new password to user agent as otherwise user agent has no means to access the server for security reasons. |

| We are expecting from QB agent to update his password (authentication) automatically after windows password change. Otherwise this issue will produce many appeals to help desk about dysfunction of QB agent after every password change. |

The user agent can not update the password on its own as this will result in security problems. Suppose this case: if the password is stolen and someone else runs user agent to access QuickBuild. The user can change his password to reject connections from that user agent. With password auto-updating, there is no way to kick out the invalid user agent.
I believe this behaviors the same as most programs running on user desktop. |

This approach solve my issue.
It would be nice that after change of Windows password, QB agent will prompt dialog and ask my new password or will run the config.bat automatically. Thanks, Maxim |
