  2. On the Services window, right-click on One Identity rSMS Service.
  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.

  1. Restart the One Identity rSMS Service.

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.

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.
