  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.

  1. Restart the One Identity rSMS Service.

When editing the notification template, you can use the parameters available in the notification editor, for example #USER_ACCOUNT_NAME#, #WORKFLOW_RESULT#, and others.

  4. In the Message format box, select the format to use for the notifications. You can select from two options: either HTML or Plain text.

Upgrading Password Manager

Upgrade Requirements

Before you start the upgrade process, follow this checklist to ensure you have made the necessary preparations and met the essential upgrade requirements.

Table 13:  Upgrade checklist

Step

Comment

Back up the current configuration by doing one of the following:

  • Export the configuration file using the Import/Export option in General Settings and import the same file after the upgrade.
  • Create a copy of the ProgramData folder in the C:\ProgramData\One Identity\Password Manager for future reference.

UI customizations will be lost during upgrade. Follow the steps to save the configuration. For more information on saving the configuration, see Import/Export Configuration Settings .

Ensure that you installed or upgraded the third-party redistributable packages required for the latest version of Password Manager.

 

Ensure that you know the user name and password for domain management accounts.

For more information on what permissions are required for a domain management account, see Configuring Permissions for Domain Management Account.

Ensure that Password Manager Service account is a member of the Administrators group on the Web server where Password Manager is installed.

 

Ensure that in IIS 7.0 or later, application pool identity account is a member of the IIS_IUSRS local group. This account must also have permissions to create files in the <Password Manager installation folder>\App_Data folder.

That is needed only if Password Manager Service account is configured to use special SQL account (different from Password Manager Service account) to access the SQL database.

Ensure that the account, that is used to upgrade Password Manager, is a member of the local Administrators group on the server where you upgrade the product.

 

Ensure that the account, that is used to upgrade Password Manager, is a member of the database creators (db_creator) fixed role on the SQL server hosting the Password Manager configuration database.
