Fido2 key management

Use the Fido2 key management feature to unpair FIDO2 keys from selected users, groups and Organizational Units.

TO unpair Fido2 keys

  1. On the home page of the Administration Site, navigate to General Settings > Fido2 key management.

  2. On the Fido2 key management page:

    • If you want to unpair Fido2 keys from individual users, expand the Select Users tree, click Add, manually search for the individual user, select the required user from the results, and click Save.

    • If you want to unpair Fido2 keys from a user group, expand the Select Groups tree, click Add, manually search for the individual groups, select the required group from the results, and click Save.

    • If you want to unpair Fido2 keys from the entire Organizational Unit (OU), expand the Select Organizational Units tree, click Add, manually search for the individual OU, select the required OU from the results, and click Save.

  3. Click Delete Fido2 Key(s).

Working with Redistributable Secret Management account

Redistributable Secret Management Service (rSMS) can be used to manage user passwords across multiple connected systems. Using the rSMS service it is possible to quickly synchronize the passwords across connected systems. By default, the rSMS service is installed with the Password Manager software.

An rSMS account must be created and configured to interact with the rSMS service to execute password change functionality on connected systems. After creating the rSMS account and configuring the certificate binding settings (optional), you can configure the settings to reset the password in connected systems. For more information, see Reset password in connected systems through embedded connectors.

To create rSMS account and configure certificate binding settings

  1. On the home page of the Administration Site, click General Settings.

  2. Click the rSMS Settings tab from the options.

    The Redistributable Secret Management Service page is displayed.

    NOTE: An rSMS account must be created before working with rSMS activity. An rSMS user is automatically created if the imported configuration file has the rSMS account details.

  3. In the Create Account section, click Create Account to create an rSMS account.

  4. In the Certificate binding section, select a custom certificate from the drop-down list, if available. By default, the built-in certificate is used. If the certificate binding settings are modified you must restart the One Identity rSMS Service.

    NOTE: If you import a configuration file, the rSMS certificate binding details are not imported. The default binding settings or the certificate binding settings of the system are used.

  5. Select the IP address from the rSMS IP address drop-down list.

    NOTE: For built-in certificates, the Port number field is automatically populated with the value 20001. For a custom certificates, custom port number can be provided.

  6. Click Save Settings to save the certificate binding settings.

    NOTE:

    • By default, all Password Manager logs are available in C:\Windows\TEMP folder. If the default Password Manager log path is changed during an update, rSMS automatically uses the updated log path instead of the default path used earlier.

    • Additional rSMS logs are available in the rSMS.Service-{Date}.log file. Enable Password Manager logging from the Administrator site under General Settings > Logging Settings.

Customizing Redistributable Secret Management log path

By default, the rSMS logs are available in C:\Windows\Temp\rSMS. You have the option to customize the log path to record the logs at a different location.

Customizing rSMS log path

  1. On the system where the Password Manager Administration Site is installed, click Start and then Services.

  2. On the Services window, right-click on One Identity rSMS Service.

  3. Select Properties and check the location from the Path to executable section.

  4. Open the command prompt with administrator privileges and navigate to the directory where One Identity rSMS Service is installed.

  5. From the directory where One Identity rSMS Service is installed, run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath command to view the rSMS log path.

    The log path currently used to record rSMS logs is displayed.

  6. To update the log path, run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath -f <new path> command. For example, rSMS.Config.exe LogPath -f C:\PM.

    The log path is updated. To confirm the log path run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath command again.

  7. Restart the One Identity rSMS Service.
