Upgrade 5.7.1 or later versions

Manual upgrade from 5.7.1 or later versions

Uninstall Password Manager 5.7.1 or later versions, and then install Password Manager 5.12.3 on the computer where Password Manager 5.7.1 or later versions was installed. For more information, see To uninstall Password Manager 5.7.1 or later versions.

  1. From the autorun window of the installation CD, click Install against Password Manager x64 option. Read the content and click Next.
  2. Select I accept the terms in License Agreement check box, and then click Next.
  3. In the User Information page, enter the user details such as the username and the organization to which the user belongs to, and then click Next.
    1. To verify licenses information, click Licenses… and then check the statuses of the license.

NOTE: If the license has expired, click Browse license… and select the appropriate license to continue the Password Manager service.

  1. In the Custom Setup page, click the respective option that needs to be installed, and then click Next.
  2. In the Password Manager Service Account Information page, the account name appears by default. Enter the password, and then click Next.

NOTE: To change the account name, click Browse… and select the appropriate Password Manager service account name.

  1. In the Specify Web Site and Application Pool Identity page, choose the website name, and in the Application pool identity section, the account name appears by default. Enter the password, and then click Next .

NOTE: To change the account name, click Browse… and select the appropriate Application Pool Identity account name.

  1. After completing the above process, click Install.

Upon successful installation, the Password Manager installs the following sites:

  • Administration Site
  • Helpdesk Site
  • Password Manager Self-Service Site

NOTE:

  • Make sure that you have taken a back up of the current configuration settings. For more information, see To export configuration settings from Password Manager 5.7.1 or later versions.
  • After you uninstall Password Manager 5.7.1 or later versions, all configuration settings will be automatically detected by the new version. For more information on how to install Password Manager, see Installing Password Manager .
  • If you have multiple Password Manager instances installed, when upgrading them, you may experience the following issue: the Realm Instances page of the Administration site displays an incorrect list of installed instances. After you upgrade all instances, the page will display the correct list.

 

IMPORTANT:

  • Switch to the Password Manager self Service site(Self-Service UI version 5.9.5 onwards) option is displayed only in case of in place upgrade.

  • In case of Manual upgrade to 5.12.3, the Self-Service site gets replaced as Password Manager Self-Service site. Hence, post Manual upgrade, you can see only one Self service site (Password Manager Self-Service Site) and legacy self-service site is not more accessible, by default.

  • In case of Manual upgrade, if the Legacy Self-Service site is required, Admin has to install it exclusively, in addition to the existing Password Manager Self Service site. In this case, point to note is that the Enabling Self-Service UI 5.12.3 (Switch to Self-service site 5.9.5 onwards) option will not be applicable.

Running the Migration Wizard

 NOTE: In the Shared.storage file in ProgramData folder of primary instance, verify whether AESEncryption value is true in all hosts. After installing Password Manager 5.12.3 and importing the configuration file into secondary instances, replication from all PM instances takes time to update the hosts’ information and to set AESEncryption value to true. If the AESEncryption value is not true, when you run the Migration Wizard 5.12.3, it displays the error message with the list of hosts which are not updated with Password Manager 5.12.3 configuration.

 

 NOTE: Set AESEncryption value to true in all the hosts and run the Migration Wizard 5.12.3 under Password Manager Service account.

To run the Migration Wizard 5.12.3, see To update users’ Q&A profiles with new instance settings and clear old Q&A data for user objects in Active Directory.

 NOTE: In older version Password Manager, if you are using an existing database, after installing the Password Manager 5.12.3, disconnect SQL connection and reconnect with the same or a new database.

 

 NOTE: After installing Password Manager 5.12.3, if service account has to be modified, see Modifying the service account .

Converting Q&A Profiles

After you have configured Password Manager 5.12.3, you can convert users’ Q&A profiles to make it compatible with the latest Password Manager version. To convert Q&A profiles, you must use the Migration Wizard.

  7. Click Finish to close the wizard.

    		IMPORTANT: After profile conversion, some users may not be able to edit their Q&A profiles. Such users will be able to reset their passwords and unlock accounts on the Self-Service site, but if they want to edit their Q&A profiles, they will be forced to create new Q&A profiles.

    If users’ Q&A profiles have been skipped during profile conversion, such users will not be able to use Password Manager 5.12.3 until they create new Q&A profiles.
