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.

About Secure Password Extension

Secure Password Extension is an application that provides access to the complete functionality of the Self-Service site from the Windows logon screen. Secure Password Extension also provides dialog boxes displayed on end-user computers, these dialog boxes notify users who must create or update their Questions and Answers profiles.

Secure Password Extension is included on the installation CD and is deployed through Group Policy. For information on how to deploy and configure Secure Password Extension on end-user workstations in the managed domain, see Deploying and Configuring Secure Password Extension.

IMPORTANT: Secure Password Extension may be deployed on different workstations by applying different GPOs. This allows you to not upgrade Secure Password Extension on all the workstations at one time, but do it in several steps depending on your needs and preferences.

You can centrally upgrade workstations to the latest version of Secure Password Extension by assigning the software for deployment using Group Policy. It is recommended to remove the existing MSI package from the Software installation list, and then assign the latest-version package.

IMPORTANT: By default, Secure Password Extension uses the URL of the Self-Service site installed on the computer where Password Manager Service runs. You can modify the URL on the General Settings|Realm Instances page of the Administration site.

To remove the existing and assign a latest-version package

  1. Remove the assigned package (Quest Secure Password Extension x86.msi or Quest Secure Password Extension x64.msi) from the list of software to be installed.
  2. Add the latest-version MSI packages to the list of software to be installed.

When upgrading Secure Password Extension, do not forget to upgrade the prm_gina.admx administrative template with the one located in the \Password Manager\Setup\Template\Administrative Template\ folder of the installation CD.

During upgrade of prm_gina.admx administrative template, the previously made template settings are preserved and picked up by newer versions.
