Resolution
Primary and Secondary role settings can be defined in the local.storage file:

- Navigate to C:\ProgramData\One Identity\Password Manager
- Backup the local.storage file
- Open the local.storage file in Notepad and locate one of the two lines:
- Note: The line contained in the local.storage file will depend on what the server role is currently configured as
- setting name="role" value="Secondary"
- setting name="role" value="Primary"
- Update the value to the desired role, either Primary or Secondary
- Save the local.storage file
- Restart the Password Manager service
