Resolution
Resetting the store will lose all the custom Roles added in the environment hence a good idea would be to backup the Authorization Store before performing a Reset.
1. Open Enterprise Vault Admin Console (VAC)
2. Right Click | Directory on | Authorization Manager
3. Right Click EvAzStore.xml properties - which should give you the location (eg : C:\Documents and Settings\ev_service\Local Settings\Temp)
4. Backup the EvAzStore.xml file
To reset the Roles to their default state via the registry:
1. Create the following registry key.
32-Bit Windows Server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin
64-Bit Windows Server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin
64-Bit Windows Server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Admin
Value: ResetAuthorizationStore
Type: STRING
For use with roles-based administration . When set to 1, resets all the roles and role assignments so that they are the same as they were when installed.
2. Once set, close and open the Vault Admin Console (VAC).
3. Right-click Directory on and a new option will be available to reset the Roles-Based Authentication Database called Reset Authorization Store.
