Reset secure storage

Adaxes stores all credentials and other sensitive data in a secure storage. In a multi-server environment, access to the secure storage can be provided to an Adaxes service instance by any other service instance from the same configuration set. If an Adaxes service instance fails to get access to the storage, it will become stuck in the Awaiting authorization state and will not start.

First, make sure all Adaxes services are up and running and there are no communication issues between them. If the authorization mechanism doesn't work and your Adaxes service still fails to obtain access, you can reset the secure storage.

To reset the secure storage, execute the below script on the computer where the Adaxes service is installed.

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

# Prompt for credentials.
$credential = Get-Credential

# Bind to the Adaxes service.
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$nameSpace = $ns.OpenDSObject("Adaxes:", $credential.UserName,` 
    $credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password, 0)

# Reset the storage.
$nameSpace.Put("adm-ResetSecureStorage", $true)
$nameSpace.SetInfo()
