Automatically update the AD search user credentials in the C&DS security provider configuration when the service account password is rotated, via a CLI or script on the Linux server

Hi there, we are attempting to migrate all our AD accounts to use a certain software where it could manage the password for us. This will ensure we change our password yearly for all our AD accounts and also do it automatically for us when the time comes. In our current SPSS configuration, we are using AD as a security provider to be able to login to C&DS to view the repository. For our AD account, we have a service account called "spss_xxx" and would like a way to have our password management software also change a configuration setting in C&DS automatically as well. The exact settinga we want changed is in the security provider configuration wizard are "Search Credential Type", "Search user" and "Search user password" settings. Obviously, we can not have the tool go into C&DS desktop manager client to login and change these settings, however we are able to run scripts on the server such as a ssh into it and execute ./whatever.sh We were wondering if there is any possible way we can achieve this? We were hoping there is a CLI command we can execute on the C&DS server (a linux machine) to run to change these settings. If there is another soluton you guys can think of also, that would be very insightful to hear. Thanks!
