Reset the Administrative UI Registration Window

Reset the registration window to submit the credentials of any super user in the policy store. The Policy Server uses these credentials to verify that the registration request is valid and that the relationship between the Administrative UI and the Policy Server can be trusted.

To reset the Administrative UI registration window

1. Log into the Policy Server host system.
2. Run the following command:

   XPSRegClient siteminder_administrator[:passphrase] -adminui-setup -t timeout -r retries -c comment -cp -l
   log_path -e error_path -vT -vI -vW -vE -vF
   

   siteminder_administrator

   Specifies a SOA Security Manager administrator with super user permissions.

   Note: If a super user account is not available, use the smreg utility to create the default SOA Security Manager account.

   Minimum limit: 1

   Maximum limit: 1440 (24 hours)
