Factory Reset from the desktop client

As an Appliance Administrator, you can use the Factory Reset feature to reset a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance to recover from major problems or to clear the data and configuration settings on the appliance.

Caution: Care should be taken when performing a factory reset against an appliance, because this operation removes all data and audit history, returning it to its original state when it first came from the factory. The appliance must go through configuration again as if it had just come from the factory. For more information, see Setting up One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time.

In addition, performing a factory reset may change the default SSL certificate and default SSH host key.

NOTE: Clustered environment: Performing a factory reset on a clustered appliance will not automatically remove the appliance from a cluster. The recommended best practice is to unjoin an appliance from the cluster before performing a factory reset on the appliance. After the unjoin and factory reset, the appliance must be configured again. For more information, see Setting up One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time.

To perform a factory reset from the desktop client

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Factory Reset.
  2. Click Factory Reset.

  3. In the Factory Reset confirmation dialog, enter the words Factory Reset and click OK.

    The appliance will go into Maintenance mode to revert the appliance. Once completed, you will be prompted to restart the desktop client. If the appliance had been in a cluster, you may need to unjoin the factory reset appliance. The factory reset appliance must be configured again. For more information, see Setting up One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords for the first time. In addition, when you log into the appliance, you will be prompted to add your Safeguard for Privileged Passwords licenses.
