Security - Administrator Password - where is this stored?

Scriptcase 8 Discussion
#1

When setting up security module, I typed the system password wrong (the one that sends mail from the system) - which resulted in a authentication error when adding a new user. I am wondering where scriptcase stores that information?

I stumbled around and found the piece of code and smtp settings in that piece of code and fixed it there … which fixed it once … but now I see that it is wrong again.

Do I blow away the security module and recreate it?

If I want, in the future, to change the password of that user in my email system - must I blow away the security module to change it it in SC?

The password is stored in one of the security tables the security module creates in your database. Assuming it’s encrypted just delete the user in that table and create a new one - but note the new user ID as that will need changing / removing in the related tables.

Or as you say - to be sure it’s clean and safer - trash and recreate. All depends on how many users etc are already setup
