Initialization failure
If the Password Synchronizer fails to initialize itself (for example, because it cannot find its configuration file), Windows will not send notifications about password changes to the Password Synchronizer. This means that password changes can take place, but the Windows Password Synchronizer will not intercept them.
The most reliable way to determine whether the Password Synchronizer is initialized successfully is to check its error log. Additionally, we can use the query_plugin command of the Plugin Administration Tool.
Reconfiguration failure
If reconfiguration fails, the Password Synchronizer will be left in a non-initialized state and will reject all password changes. Inspect the error log of the Password Synchronizer to see if the reconfiguration succeeded.
See Plug-in administration tool for information how to request reconfiguration.
