Changing Passwords in FYI Server

If you need to change a Concordance password for a user, you can change it for individual databases or all registered databases associated with the user.

Passwords can be changed from both the Users and Tree side tabs on the Management tab in the FYI Admin Console. When you change a password from the Users side tab or the Users folder on the Tree side tab, the password is automatically changed for all registered databases associated with the user. When you change a password from the Clients, Matters, or Databases folder on the Tree side tab, you have the option of changing the password for only the selected database or for all registered databases associated with the user.

Note

If you are using external authentication, such as Microsoft Active Directory, user passwords cannot be changed from the FYI Admin Console. User passwords can only be changed in the FYI Admin Console if Concordance is the authentication type.

If a user is having trouble logging on to FYI Reviewer or Concordance, there is no preset default lockout for a number of failed user log on attempts. Users need to notify their system administrator if they repeatedly cannot log on to FYI Reviewer or Concordance. The administrator will need to verify whether the user name and password are correct or if a license seat needs to be renewed.
