Verify password

On FortiPAM, you can verify the password in a secret manually to check its accuracy, and confirm if the target server is reachable.

You can only manually verify passwords every 5 seconds.

You can also set up a secret to automatically verify the password by enabling Automatic Password Verification when creating or editing a secret.

See Automatic password verification.

To verify the password:
  1. Go to Secrets > Secret List.
  2. In Secret List, select a secret, and select Edit.

    Alternatively, go to Folders, and select the folder where the secret is located, and double-click the secret.

    The Edit Secret window opens.

  3. From the top, select Verify Password.

    Once the password has been verified, Password Verification Status shows the date and time when the password was verified and its status.
