Alert Invalid Password

When we generated a EGL program we need a tcp/ip connection with hostname, port number, userid and password. These information are saved in the EGL Build Descriptor options or to userid/password in the EGL Preferences. When we talk about hostname can be a Server zOS , iSeries, Windows, Linux, Aix and where you have to do authentication userid / password. As we all know, for standards and corporate security policies, we have to change the password often, say every 30 days.
However, we change the password on the server, but forgot to change password in the EGL Build Descriptor Option or the EGL Preference.
However, change the password on the server, but forgot to change password at EGL Build Descriptor Option or the EGL Preference.
And unfortunately sent to the generation of multiple applications on the same build and several authentication attempts will be made to the server with invalid or expired password. Soon, your user will be revoked.
