Description

This article describes the issue where users encounter errors below when verifying the password for the SQL database when the password changer is configured:

 

error for postgres.PNG

 

Scope FortiPAM v1.4.x and FortiPAM v1.5.x.
Solution

The error indicates that FortiPAM is trying to use SSH to verify the password for the SQL database.

However, SQL database does not support direct SSH as it does not have SSH services.

 

Hence, it is expected to see the error when using the 'SSH with Password' type for the password changer.

From the password changer settings, FortiPAM does not have the SQL option:

In conclusion, password changer for SQL database is not supported in the current FortiPAM version.
