Please mention the exact error message you are getting due to this issue.

[tdubb123]

java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user ';RSA_USER'. Reason: The password of the account has expired

[dekoshal]

RSA_USER should be in the security section of the SSO database.

I have to not tried it myself but i think this might help.
To reconfigure SSO with the new RSA_USER password:

1. Stop the vCenter Single Sign-On service.

2. Open an elevated command prompt.

For Microsoft SQL:

ssocli.cmd configure-riat -a configure-db --rsa-user-password new_db_password --rsa-user New_RSA_USER

3.Open the config.properties file, located at SSO_Install_Directory\webapps\lookupservice\WEB-INF\classes using a text editor.
4. Locate the line db.pass= and replace the old password with the new password.

5. Save and exit the file.

6. Start the vCenter Single Sign-On server (service).

In the same KB article there is section specifically talking about expired database server login password. See if this works for you.

Updating the vCenter Single Sign-On server database configuration (2045528) | VMware KB

If you have moved the SSO DB and the database user credentials have changed or the database server login password has expired, you must update the SSO configuration.

To determine what database SSO is configured to use:

1. Open an elevated command prompt. For more information, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).
2. At a command prompt, run this command:
   
   SSO_Install_Directory\utils> ssocli manage-secrets -a listallkeys
   
   By default, SSO_Install_Directory is: C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\SSOServer
   
   
3. When prompted, enter the master password.
4. Update the configuration using the command:
   
   ssocli configure-riat -a configure-db
   For example:
   
   SSO_Install_Directory\utils> ssocli configure-riat -a configure-db --database-host new_host_name --database-port new_SQL_server_port -m master_password
   
   For a complete list of configure-db arguments, see the Additional Information section.
