Working with Redistributable Secret Management account

Redistributable Secret Management Service (rSMS) is used to manage users password across multiple connected systems. Using rSMS service you can synchronize the passwords across connected systems. The rSMS service is installed with the Password Manager software.

An rSMS account must be created and configured to interact with the rSMS service to execute password change functionality on connected systems. After creating the rSMS account and configuring certificate binding settings (optional), you can configure the settings to reset the password in connected systems.

To create rSMS account and configure certificate binding settings

  1. On the home page of the Administration site, click General Settings.

  2. Click the rSMS Settings tab from the options.

    The Redistributable Secret Management Service page is displayed.

    NOTE:An rSMS account must be created before working with rSMS activity. An rSMS user is automatically created if the imported configuration file has the rSMS account details.

  1. In the Create Account section, click Create Account to create an rSMS account.

  2. In the Certificate binding section, select a custom certificate from the drop-down list, if available. By default, the built-in certificate is used.

    NOTE:If you import a configuration file, the rSMS certificate binding details are not imported. The default binding settings or the certificate binding settings of the system is used.

  3. Select the IP address from the rSMS IP address drop-down list.

    NOTE:For built-in certificates, the Port number field is automatically populated with the value 20001. For custom certificates, custom port number can be provided.

  4. Click Save Settings to save the certificate binding settings.

    NOTE:

    • By default, all Password Manager logs are available in C:\Windows\TEMP folder. If the default Password Manager log path is changed during an update, rSMS automatically uses the updated log path instead of the default path used earlier.

    • Additional rSMS logs are available in the rSMS.Service-{Date}.log file. Enable Password Manager logging from the Administrator site under General Settings | Logging Settings.

  3. Select Properties and check the location from the Path to executable section.
  4. Open the command prompt with administrator privileges and navigate to the directory where One Identity rSMS Service is installed.
  5. From the directory where One Identity rSMS Service is installed, run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath command to view the rSMS log path.

    The log path currently used to record rSMS logs is displayed.

  1. To update the log path, run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath -f <new path> command. For example, rSMS.Config.exe LogPath -f C:\PM.

    The log path is updated. To confirm the log path run the rSMS.Config.exe LogPath command again.
