Resetting server admin password in Azure portal breaks deployed app - azure

I reset the Server Admin password in the Azure Portal and it causes connections to fail.
I set up a new login and user in SqlServer to connect to an authentication database (I'm using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity) and changed the connection string to use this new user. This connection worked on my local machine, so I published the app. The connection was still good in the deployed app. I then reset the Server Admin password and within minutes all connections were failing on the deployed app. Is there another location in the portal that I need to change settings, or perhaps in my application code, so that connections don't fail?
I've tried changing the connection strings in the app service configuration settings on Azure Portal, with no effect.

If you reset the Server Admin password, the SQL database connection string also changed, you need to get the new connection string or replace the username and password with your new password in old connection string. please try again.
Rest admin password:
Connection string:
Replace the {your_username} and {your_password} with new admin password in old app connection string, your connection string should like this:
Server=tcp:***.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=db_name;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=username;Password=new_admin_password;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
Hope this helps.

Can't connect to ClearDB database after resetting password

I am trying to deploy a very simple nodejs api through Heroku and utilizing the clearDB add on so I can connect to the MySQL db the api utilizes. I had everything connected and working then realized I had hard coded and exposed the database user and password information. I reset the password on clearDB to reset the exposed information. So far I have created environment variables locally and the config variable for the new password on Heroku but now the app crashes anytime I try to connect to the db, is there somewhere else that the new password will be needed?
ClearDB stores the username and password information inside the URL to the db so if you only updated it in the config variable for the password you will also need to update it in the variable containing the URL string as well.

can we revert change made to SQL Azure API connection?

I am new to Azure.
While editing the SQL API connection, mistakenly I added the wrong username and password for SQL server authentication.
can I revert this change to the previous version?
as I don't know the username and password for the database.
any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
One of the workarounds is to change your connection directly from the connector itself.
While if you are trying to get the credentials from SQL Server, you can reset the password in the overview pane of your SQL Server.
and to know your username, in the same overview page you can find it under Server admin

Setting up Azure ITSM Connection to ServiceNow fails

We are trying to setup a connection between Azure ITSM Connector to Service Now, and we keep getting the following error after adding all required information (url, username, password, clientid, clientsecret)
Failed to add ITSM Connection
Failed to add ITSM Connection due to Bad Request. Please ensure valid credentials are provided.
I am on the Azure side and Service Now team reports the credentials we are using were successfully validated by some other group that uses the connector.
Since I don't know Service Now I have no clue about where to look at.
Could someone have an idea?
Thanks!

How to retrieve unencrypted password from the azure app service connection string

I am new to azure .
I have got a new website to work on its hosted on azure, I needed to find out the connection string .so that i can connect to the database in sql server.
The connection string is something like this
"Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Data Source=------------;Password=XIPG7UYJBOYS----------".
The password given is encrypted i guess . I am unable to login with it.
Is there any way to retrieve the plain password.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thankyou
The password should not be encrypted and you should include it in the Azure Web App's configuration section. There is a section there for connection strings.
If you need to store it in more secure place then you should use Azure Key Vault

Change password in MySQL in App - Microsoft Azure

How can I change the password of user azure in MySQL in App?
What I have tried so far:
There are two configuration files named MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt and MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.ini. I have changed the default password there, but nothing happened. Also, if I change the password using PHPMyAdmin, then I cannot login again to PHPMyAdmin (for reasons unknown to me) using the new credentials.
Quoting the doc:
Can I customize the database, username and password to be used?
Yes. The connection string is stored at
D:\home\data\mysql\MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt. The application (such
as wordpress) reads from this file for what database, username and
password to use. This also applies to what to backup and restore
provided by Azure WebApps. If you want to customize the database,
username and password, after you have created a new database, add new
username or update password, simply modify
D:\home\data\mysql\MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.ini, remove
D:\home\data\mysql\MYSQLCONNSTR_localdb.txt and restart the WebApps.
