You can configure the Find User page of the Password Manager Self-Service Site to include reCAPTCHA anti-bot protection. Password Manager supports the reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 engines.
NOTE: Password Manager supports only the "I'm not a robot" Checkbox challenge of reCAPTCHA v2. It does not support the Invisible reCAPTCHA badge and reCAPTCHA Android app validations.
Prerequisites
Before you configure reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 protection for the Password Manager Self-Service Site, make sure that the following conditions are met:
-
The server running Password Manager has an active Internet connection and can communicate with the Google reCAPTCHA endpoint.
-
You must sign up and generate a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key from Google. For more information, see the Google reCAPTCHA portal.
NOTE: When generating the keys on the Google reCAPTCHA Administration Site, provide the domain name(s) where the Password Manager Self-Service Site(s) are deployed. If multiple Self-Service Sites are deployed in several different domains, provide all the domains to generate the required number of site keys and secret keys.

You can export and import the configuration settings of Password Manager instance. You can export the configuration to a configuration file to back up the instance or create replicas of the existing instance. You can import the configuration to join the current Password Manager instance to an existing realm.
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 configuration settings, including but not limited to Management Policies, general settings, password policies, and so on.
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
-
To connect to the Administration Site, enter the Administration Site URL in the address bar of your web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdmin/.
NOTE: When prompted to log in, provide your domain user name in a domainname\username format.
-
On the menu bar, click General Settings, then click the Import/Export tab and select the Export configuration settings option 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.
