Restoring Administrator Access

An administrator with full access to the Policy Server can restore permissions when an administrator account becomes inadvertently modified or deleted. The two administrators with these permissions include the following accounts:

• The default CA SiteMinder® super user account (siteminder). If you are using the policy store to store administrator identities, use the siteminder account to restore permissions.
• The super user account that is established when the external administrator store connection is configured. If you are using an external store to store administrator identities, use the external super user to restore permissions.

If you cannot access the default administrator accounts, do the following tasks:

• Change the password of the default CA SiteMinder® super user account with the smreg utility.
• Make any user in the external administrator store a super user with the XPSSecurity utility.
