Description Dirk Wiesenthal

Actually, I did not try it, but my guess is that the password service will stop working when the Administrator changes her password (due to password policy?) - at least the the server is restarted. This can be fixed by:
 * Login to DC Master shell as root
 * Getting the filename where the password is stored by querying UCR
 * Changing the file
 * Starting the service

Prior to the new AD Connection module this _may_ have been possible by a button called "Reconfigure AD Connector" - I do not remember. Anyway, this button does not exist (anymore).

If this is changed, the documentation should reflect that.

We removed the password service on Windows side:

That makes this bug obsolete.
