  • Resetting the AAIR inbox is an interactive process.

  • An agent/LAN Admin will initiate process. In January 2023, this was completed via a Teams screen sharing session in which the agent initiated the process but provided control of the screen to the maintenance team member who performed the password change.

    Once the password changes need to be done in the CAWIS database. They should be done immediately after the database change. The steps are provide in the next section, “Updating TOAD”.

    After the database change is complete check the CAWIS-MDM log (step 1).

    Check that the email account is not locked: Open a command prompt and type “net user DNRENAC /domain“. In the response, you should get something like below:

    If the line “Account active” says “Locked” or “No”, contact the Service Desk for them to reactivate the account.

Updating

the database


immediately following the successful reset of the AAIR inbox password, the CIVAV developer should make the following updates in TOAD). This is time sensitive.

Here’s the steps to fix the issue:

  1. In the table TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS:

    First, backup the existing password/encryption info

    UPDATE TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS A SET A.PROPERTY_VALUE =
    (SELECT PROPERTY_VALUE FROM TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS B
    WHERE B.PROPERTY_NAME = 'MDM - MAILBOX PASSWORD' )
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = 'MDM BACKUP - LAST KNOWN PASSWORD';

    UPDATE TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS SET PROPERTY_VALUE =
    (SELECT PROPERTY_VALUE FROM TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS B
    WHERE B.PROPERTY_NAME = 'MDM - MAILBOX PASSWORD SECRET' )
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = 'MDM BACKUP - LAST SECRET ENCRYPTION';

    then, null out the encryption key

    UPDATE TR47_CAWIS_GENERAL_PROPS SET PROPERTY_NAME = NULL
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = 'MDM - MAILBOX PASSWORD SECRET';

    Note : most fields (with the exception of “password” ) will be UPPERCASED when saved on the TR47 interface page in CAWIS. This would nullify any benefits of backing up up the old encrypted password at this point.

Clearing the value ofMDM - MAILBOX PASSWORD SECRET is to tell MDM that the password is unencrypted. (Do not remove the row).

a. Set the value of MDM - MAILBOX PASSWORDto the new, unencrypted password.

b. Set the value of MDM - MAILBOX PASSWORD LAST CHECK DATE to SYSDATE + 2”. This will ensure that MDM does the password change two days after the reset (you have to wait a day to do another password change)
