How do I reset the Group Policy Administrator Repository Authorization Code?

To change the Repository Authorization Code, you must use the NqGPARepConfig command line tool. You must also update every Group Policy Administrator Console configuration to incorporate the same change.

Every Group Policy Administrator Console requires a Repository Authorization Code to connect with a GP Repository. The Repository Authorization Code is a unique identifier for each GP Repository that is set on the GP Repository. You can configure each GPA Console with one Repository Authorization Code, and each GPA Console can display any GP Repository with the same code.

To change the Repository Authorization Code or Group Policy Administrator Security account:

1. Log on to the computer where you installed the GP Repository with an account that has domain administrator permissions and database administrator permissions for Microsoft SQL Server.
2. Open a command prompt window.
3. Change directory locations to the \Program Files\NetIQ\Group Policy Administrator\Tools folder.
4. Use the NqGPARepConfig tool to change the Repository Authorization Code or GPA Security account. For more information about using the tool, see the usage statement, which is available by typing NqGPARepConfig /? at the command prompt. The syntax is also given below:
   
   SyntaxNqGpaRepConfig.exe [/Repository:<server>] [/DB:<database name>]
[/User:<login_name> /Pass:<password> | *]
[/RepAuthCode:<repository_key>]
[/AddSecurityAccount:<domain\account_name>] [/LSecurityAccounts]
[/? | /Help]
   
   Example: NqGpaRepConfig.exe /RepAuthCode:"new authorization code"

To configure the Group Policy Administrator Console:

1. Log onto the Group Policy Administrator Console computer with an account that has GPA Security Manager permissions.
2. Start the Group Policy Administrator Console in the Group Policy Administration program folder.
3. In the left pane, click GP Repository.
4. On the Action menu, click Properties.
5. Click the Repository Authorization Code tab.
6. Type the Repository Authorization Code you want to use in the Authorization Code field and click OK.

note
Changing the Repository Authorization Code on the Group Policy Administrator Console does not change the Repository Authorization Code for the GP Repository.
