    Default Username Password change

    We've been using WSI successful for around a year now.

    However, we have run into one particularily annoying feature. Let me explain our setup. We have a service that runs on our internal network that goes out to the store via WSI and downloads all the orders, uploads shipping information, and then a few times a day updates the inventory quantities.

    But every 30 or 45 days, the password for the account used to make the WSI connection requires a password change. The service fails because it can't login... etc....

    The question is: how should I correct the service to fix this issue. Should I change the password every 30 days? Can I set the password so that it does not expire?

    Comments and ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

    You could set the appconfig to require password change at larger intervals, but I believe that will fail PCI compliancy so would not recommend it... AdminPwdChangeDays

    Setting the password to a larger interval doesn't help.

    My idea would be to have the program change it's own password periodically. This would solve both problems. The program would use a specific account, only for the purpose of WSI connections, and it would change it's password at or before the appropriate times.
