How to change the container where the Replication container is stored (4226022)

By default the container is stored in the Users container in Active Directory, however there may be a need to change its location.

WORKAROUND

1. To change the container which the Replication container is stored locate the QPM.Service.Host.exe.config file located on the Password Manager service server: C:\Program Files\One Identity\Password Manager\Service\QPM.Service.Host.exe.config

2. Back up the QPM.Service.Host.exe.config file to another location

3. Open QPM.Service.Host.exe.config in Notepad or equivalent text editor

4. Locate the string storageContainerPath="CN=Users" in the file

<storageManager storageVersion="5" storageContainerAttributeName="comment" storageContainerName="_QPMStorageContainer" storageContainerPartName="strg" storageContainerPath="CN=Users" storageContainerReplicationPath="CN=PMReplication" localStorageFile="Local.storage" sharedStorageFile="Shared.storage" scenariosConfigurationFile="Resources\Scenarios.xml" cacheStorageForWorkflow="false" />

5. Change the storageContainerPath="CN=Users"  to another OU or container in Active Directory.

NOTE: Do not include the full distinguishedName. Only enter the root of the OU/Container.

OU=Test

6. Restart the Password Manager service.
