KB: Upgrade Push/Pull Self Destruct Message feature Pre Build 9960 ​

If you have deployed the Push/Pull version of the Self Destruct Message feature, and you are upgrading from a build prior to 9960, then there is a once off manual step required when upgrading the Push/Pull version of Self Destruct, if you have deployed that version. Please follow the instructions below for this:

  1. In Passwordstate, go to the screen Administration -> System Settings -> Self Destruct Messages tab
  2. Generate and copy the “Communications API Key” value you see below in the screenshot (Do not click the Save button at this stage, as it will try and perform test communication to the Self Destruct web site’s API)

  1. In your Self Destruct web site folder, typically in the path of C:\inetpub\PasswordstateSelfDestruct, edit the web.config file and add the line you see in the screenshot below – with your API Key value. Save the file after making this change.

    <add key="CommsAPIKey" value="fa17f2bb194de710e718ebb3c760346ed0df6b67d3703de9d0fffc6584437fba" />

  1. Now back in Passwordstate on the System Settings screen, you can click the Save button.
  2. Now restart your Passwordstate Windows Service on your core Passwordstate webserver to finish this process.
