Invalid Registration File Error Appears

Symptom:

I am trying to register an additional Policy Server connection. The registration fails with an invalid registration file error message.

Solution:

Verify that the passphrase you entered is identical to the passphrase you created using XPSRegClient. The value you created must match the value that you enter using the Administrative UI.

If you do not have a passphrase:

  1. Log into the Policy Server host system.
  2. Run the following command: 
    XPSRegClient client_name[:passphrase] -adminui
    client_name

    Identifies the Administrative UI being registered.

    Limit: This value must be unique. For example, if you have previously used smui1 to register an Administrative UI, enter smui2.

    passphrase

    Specifies the password required to complete the registration of the Administrative UI.

    Limits:

    • The passphrase must contain at least six (6) characters.
    • The passphrase cannot include an ampersand (&) or an asterisk (*).
    • If the passphrase contains a space, enclose the passphrase with quotation marks.
  3. Log into the Administrative UI to register the Policy Server connection.
