Troubleshooting options

Configures debug logging and the retention time of core dump files.

  • Debug logging increases the log level of the non-network-related events, adding the commands executed by the SPS web interface to the log.

  • SPS automatically generates core dump files if an important software component of the system crashes. These core dump files can be of great help to the One Identity Support Team to identify problems. To download the generated core dump files, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Core files on the web interface of SPS.

Modify or delete password

You cannot directly delete or modify a password, the DELETE and PUT methods are not permitted on password objects. To update a password, create a new one, then update the object that uses the old password to reference the new password. After you commit the transaction, SPS will automatically delete the old password. For details, see Change the admin password.

Change the admin password

To change the password of the admin user, complete the following steps.

  1. Open a transaction.

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  2. Create a new password object

    POST a JSON object containing the password or the hash of the password to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/passwords endpoint. For details, see Password parameters. For example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"plain": "mypassword"}'

    If the operation is successful, the response includes a reference key to the new password object.

  3. Reference the key of the password in the user configuration.

    Modify the JSON object of the user to reference the key of the new password object, and PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/local_database/users/<key-of-the-user> endpoint. For example:

    curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/local_database/users/14322374245a7de542bbb04 --data '{"name": "admin", "password": "<key-of-the-new-password>"}'
  4. Commit your changes.

    For more information, see Commit a transaction.

Change the root password

To change the password of the root user, complete the following steps.

  1. Open a transaction.

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  2. Create a new password object

    POST a JSON object containing the password or the hash of the password to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/passwords endpoint. For details, see Password parameters. For example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"plain": "mypassword"}'

    If the operation is successful, the response includes a reference key to the new password object.

  3. Configure SPS to use this password for the root user configuration.

    PUT the reference key of the new password object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/root_password endpoint. For example:

    curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/root_password --data '"<key-of-the-new-password>"'

    Note that you must PUT the reference key as a JSON string, enclosed in double-quotes.

  4. Alternatively, instead of performing the previous two steps, you can replace an existing password in a single step, PUT the following JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/root_password endpoint:

    {
    "plain": "new_password"
}
  5. Commit your changes.

    For more information, see Commit a transaction.

Change the user password

Logged in users can change their own passwords by completing the following steps.

  1. Open a transaction.

    For more information, see Open a transaction.

  2. Create a new password object

    POST a JSON object containing the password or the hash of the password to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/passwords endpoint. For details, see Password parameters. For example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"plain": "mypassword"}'

    If the operation is successful, the response includes a reference key to the new password object.

  3. Change the password of the user.

    PUT a JSON object that includes the current password in plain text and the key of the new password object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/user/password endpoint. For example:

  4. Alternatively, instead of performing the previous two steps, you can replace an existing password in a single step, PUT the following JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/root_password endpoint:

    {
    "current_password_in_plaintext": "<current_password_in_plaintext>",
    "new_password_reference": {
        "plain": "newpassword"
    }
