# Location of credentials of service account used for AD authentication using LDAP Plugin

### Question

We already have the LDAP integrations setup, but we have a service account that is being used by the Pharos application (presumably to enable Active Directory logins). I have a need to change/update the credentials that are in use.

### Information

You should be able to see the account being used on the Windows registry below: Picture
