Server Root Password Mass Reset: Assessing Risks of Corruption

Overview: This article clarifies that closing the browser during a mass password reset poses no risk of corruption and ensures the process continues in the background unaffected by browser closures.

FAQ 1: If we closed the browser by an error during a mass password reset, are there any risks for corruption or issues?

No Risk of Corruption During Browser Closure

• Closing the browser during a mass password reset does not pose a risk of corruption.
• The web application initiates password resets in batches across servers.
• Closing the browser affects only the servers for which batches have already been initiated.

FAQ 2: Does the process run in the background? Is it automatically killed if the browser is closed?

Process Continues in the Background

• The password reset process continues in the background.
• Batches that have already been initiated will run to completion even if the browser is closed.
• This ensures that ongoing password resets proceed unaffected by browser closures.
