Citrix Password Manager - Reinstalling agents doesn’t delete applications
| Jose Maria Portillo | Hello, i’m testing the MF Password Manager in a demo environment. So, i have to install, uninstall, and reinstall again then agents with different configurations made with the console. The problem is when I install a new customized .msi and I open the agent, old applications apears again, thougth I don’t configure them in the .msi. I don’t know if this is normal or it is a misconfiguration or a bad step made in the console. Also, if I uninstall the agent in a desktop in a single mode without the console .msi file, and reinstall again with the CD, the old applications apear. Wouldn’t it be a clean installation without applications? Thanks in advance, |
| roberto vich | Remember the applications are not stored in the agent, they are stored in the user’s profile, you need to delete the entries in the user’s profile under %userprofile%\applicaiton data\citrix\MetaFrame Password Manager then when you reinstall the agent the applications will not appear. When you login again you will have to re-enter the passwords for the applications again. |
| fenton4 | Hi jmportillo,
Welcome to the forum! You will also need to make sure that the user is removed from the “PEOPLE” list on the directory within the Admin console. This will allow a clean reinstall of the client for testing. Apart from that, you should enjoy testing the tool. This offers another insight (Have you also tested the syc state “work disconnected” from the central store). This is interesting and proves the concept works as desired! Hope this helps and enjoy. Kind regards, |
| Enid Shih | Fenton4, I’m a little confused about the synchronization. If made some update of the application definition, should I regenerate the customize msi to reinstall the agent, or will the agent automatically sync with console (the central store) to update the application definition ? How and when the sync process occur ? Thanks. |
| fenton4 | Hi enid1229,
In answer to your question… If made some update of the application definition, should I regenerate the customize msi to reinstall the agent, or will the agent automatically sync with console (the central store) to update the application definition ? As long as you have pushed the update out through the Admin console (Configure SSO support through the console) to the users, there is need to create a new MSI. How and when the sync process occur ? This will only work if the users have been offered the REFRESH button as well (They can then create an aggressive sync to the central store). Otherwise, the sync is pushed out as standerd to users and the new / edited application is passed. Hope this clears up the concerns above. Also, have a look at the ADMIN guide that came with Password Manager. Kind regards, |
