Sync user password between 2 Ondemand instances

[Anand]

Hi All

We have two separate CMOD instances (Primary & Seconday running 9.0.0.6 and DB2 9.7) both active and documents are loaded separately and are in sync. Users accesses documents through Windows client usually login into Primary but sometimes go to Secondary instances if any slowness in accessing documents in Tape.

We want to sync the user login passwords between the two instances if any user reset the password in one instance and not in another instance. Previously in V8.4, passwords sync was done by exporting the passwords from arsuser table from primary and updating the same passwords on secondary using SQL update. Since in 9.0, due to change in password encryption type, we cannot perform the same and also this process not supported by IBM.

Need help on this. Thanks !

Unfortunately I have no experience in exporting passwords between CMOD instances, but it's maybe worth thinking about switching to LDAP authentication instead, if you have such possibility?

Maybe it's worth also consolidating those both servers into one, it will solve many problems I understand there must be good reason for having them both, but still sometimes it's easier to force such kind of change instead of creating a hybrid, that is hard to maintain and support later on.
