Hi Andre, Thank you for your response and feedback. I had reached out to our windows support group only to be told that it must be caused by the third party product. What's worse is that all installations of TOMCAT (Stage and Production) encounter the same behavior when the service itself it stopped.
I was reaching out to the TOMCAT user community in the event that there might be a permission that needs to be granted to a file in which the service account Username and password might need to be entered. So I am once again at square one, however, I will follow your suggestion and reach out to the networking group to see if they can shed light on this situation. Thank you.

I have never seen the behaviour which you describe above, although I regularly run Tomcat as a Service on Windows systems, in multiple customer networks. First, maybe something which you should read : https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q11 In a way, this explains why the Tomcat code itself is very unlikely to contain anything which would modify this Windows user's password. (If anything, it would be the "wrapper" program described in that article.) My guess would be at this point : if the user-id in question is a Windows Domain user-id, then mybe some Windows network policy is the cause of this password reset. Ask your Windows network sysadmins. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
