Emad 2 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi Can you please help? my initial backup is not working, getting an error "- Backup error detected - Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I have followed the instructions in section "Backups and Upgrades". I tried adding the backup account to the local admin group with no joy. Also tried my own admin account still did not work. when I test it I get the error "Test Failed - please check if the Backup Path, UserName and Password are correct, that the account you specified has permissions to the backup share, and to copy file into this directory." My production system works fine with no issues, please help. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emad 2 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Now I can't even upgrade the passwordstate, the error in " 24/03/2020 18:18:45 - The following error occurred during preparing for an upgrade - Authentication Failed = Please check if the UserName and Password you have specified for Backups and Upgrades is correct. 24/03/2020 18:18:45 - The following error occurred during preparing for an upgrade - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. - Method = DownloadButton_Click " I removed the settings for "In-place upgrade Backups" which should ignore backup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
support 234 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi Emad, This could possibly be a bug, depending on what build of Passwordstate you are using, and we would suggest doing a manual upgrade as per the section '5. Manual Upgrade Instructions' in the following document - https://www.clickstudios.com.au/downloads/version8/Upgrade_Instructions.pdf Regards Click Studios Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My production sysytem Current Build: V8.7 Build 8765 Latest Build Available: V8.9 Build 8900 if I was to go a head & do manual upgrade, does that mean I will have to do the same for my production env, as it stands backup works fine but now not sure if I was to upgrade it. Any thought please Mnay thanks Emad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
support 234 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi Emad, We use to have a bug a while back where it was still trying to perform a backup before an upgrade, even though you deselected the option. But that bug was fixed some time ago, and I just suggested a manual upgrade as I did not know what build of Passwordstate you were using. So I do not believe our software is trying to do a backup here, but it does use that same backup account for performing the upgrade i.e. it needs permissions to perform the upgrade. So you will need to investigate why you are seeing the error of "Authentication Failed = Please check if the UserName and Password you have specified for Backups and Upgrades is correct" - posiibly someone has reset this account's Password outside of Passwordstate.

support 234 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi Emad, When ever we replied to your emails, it would be returned as an unknown email address from outlook.com - which is very odd. A lot of customers do use this feature for backups, so we can only presume you must have missed one of the settings, or group policy restrictions, mentioned in the Security Administrator's manual. Can you double check everything again? Maybe email as a screenshot of your backup settings screen to take a look at? Regards Click Studios Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lennart 0 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Hi there, I just noticed that Im unable to map a domain account that I need in order for the backups to work. Please refer to the image Ive attached. I have to perform a manual upgrade on Passwordstate today after business hours so if you could point me out what Im missing here that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, //Lennart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lennart 0 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 And now when checking the Passwordlist that contains the account that Im planning to use I found out that the "Enable Password Resets" options is greyed out (please reference to the image attached). Please help. Thanks, //Lennart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
support 234 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Hi Lennart, More than likely, either yourself or a team member have disabled an option allowing you to use this feature. Please check: The screen Administration -> System Settings -> Password Reset Options tab, and the setting "Select which types of Password Lists are allowed to be configured to perform Password Resets" The screen Administration -> Feature Access -> Password Reset Options tab Regards Click Studios Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the second one when I click on "set permissions" I see that already everyone has access to do password reset? (Please see the image attached). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lennart 0 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Im starting to wonder if the setting that might be hindering me from activating that checkbox could be this one: Kindly advise. Thanks, //Lennart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

support 234 Posted Monday at 11:21 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:21 PM HI Lennart, Please check to see if if you have any User Account Policies linking any new Password Lists that you create to a Password List Template. https://www.clickstudios.com.au/community/index.php?/topic/2927-using-a-user-account-policy-to-force-settings-and-permissions-from-a-password-list-template/ Is this a existing Password List you are trying to Edit, or a brand new one that you have created?
