Specifying passwords and properties for connecting services to the server

Most application server passwords are set when you install AR System. However, you can change them on the Connection Settings tab.
If you change an application service password on an AR System server, you must make the corresponding change for the applications that connect to that server. For more information, see Configuring-Mid-Tier-as-a-service.
