Troubleshoot Database Password Expiration

Troubleshoot Database Password Expiration

Use this checklist when AIQ cannot connect to the database and logs indicate an expired or invalid password.

  • Confirm the failing account and database endpoint before changing credentials.
  • Follow the approved credential rotation process.
  • Do not paste passwords into documentation, tickets, or shared output.
  • Restart or refresh only the affected services after credential updates.

Validation workflow

  1. Review AIQ and database logs for the exact authentication error.
  2. Coordinate credential reset with the database owner.
  3. Update the approved secure configuration location.
  4. Validate AIQ connectivity and document the change without exposing secrets.
