Exporting Configuration Settings

By exporting configuration settings to a configuration file, you can back up the current instance or use the configuration file to create a Password Manager realm.

A realm is a group of Password Manager instances using common realm settings (encryption and hashing algorithms, realm affinity ID, etc.) and configuration settings, including but not limited to Management Policies, general settings, password policies, etc.

If you want to create a realm, you need to export the configuration settings from a Password Manager instance and create a replica of this instance by importing the configuration settings. To learn more about creating Password Manager realms, see Installing Multiple Instances of Password Manager.

To export configuration settings

  1. Connect to the Administration site by typing the Administration site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS/.

    NOTE: When prompted to log in, provide your domain user name in a domainname\username format.

  2. On the menu bar, click General > Settings, then click the Import/Export tab and select the Export configuration settings option.
  3. Enter the password to protect the configuration file and click Export.

IMPORTANT: Remember and store the password that is generated while exporting the configuration file. You must enter this password when importing the configuration file for a new instance when, you want to join to a realm or restoring the configuration. Losing this password requires re-installation of the application.

Export the configuration settings and save in a secure location. Use these settings to create secondary instances of Password Manager, and to recover data in the event of server disaster, or serious data loss.

Importing Configuration Settings

To restore a Password Manager instance or to join an instance to a realm, you need to import the configuration settings to such an instance.

To import configuration settings

  1. Connect to the Administration site by typing the Administration site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS/.

    NOTE: When prompted to log in, provide your domain user name in a domainname\username format.

  2. On the menu bar, click General Settings, then click the Import/Export tab and select the Import configuration settings option.
  3. Click Upload to select the configuration file that you exported earlier.
  4. Enter the password and click Import.

Outgoing Mail Servers

You can configure one or more outgoing mail servers to send email notifications. If there are several servers, Password Manager will first attempt to use the top one in the list.

To add outgoing mail servers (SMTP)

  1. Connect to the Administration site by typing the Administration site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS/.

    NOTE: When prompted to log in, provide your domain user name in a domainname\username format.

  2. On the menu bar, click General Settings|SMTP Servers and then click Add SMTP server.
  3. In the Add SMTP Server dialog box, configure the following options and click Save:
Table 15:  SMTP server details

Option

Description

Server name

Type the SMTP server name.

If the SMTP server uses the port which is different from the default SMTP port 25, you may specify the port using the following format:

<server name>:<port number>

where <server name> is the server name and <port number> is the port number used for SMTP communication.

Sender email address

Type the sender's email address.

This server requires authentication

Select if the SMTP server requires authentication.

User name

Type the user name under which Password Manager will access the SMTP server.

Password

Type the password for this account.

Confirm password

Re-type the password.

The server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)

Select if the SMTP server requires an encrypted connection (SSL).

  1. Follow steps 2-3 to add any additional SMTP servers.

NOTE: You can use the Test settings button to validate the SMTP server that you have configured. An email will be sent to the specified email address if the provided details are valid. If any of the details are invalid, a error message is displayed. You can configure the subject text of the email by configuring the value of Resource Id, “Admin.Scenario.Action.TestSMTP.Settings.TestEmail.Subject”“Admin.Scenario.Action.TestSMTP.Settings.TestEmail.Subject” in the Admin.xml file.
  1. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order of the SMTP servers in the list.

The order of the servers in the list specifies how Password Manager uses the servers to send email notification messages. Password Manager will first attempt to use the servers at the top of the list.

To remove a server from the list of outgoing SMTP mail servers

  1. Connect to the Administration site by typing the Administration site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS/.

    NOTE: When prompted to log in, provide your domain user name in a domainname\username format.

  2. On the menu bar, click General Settings, and then click the SMTP Servers tab.
  3. On the SMTP Servers page, select the SMTP server you want to remove and click Remove.
