Installing the Administrative UI

Trusted Relationship between the UI and the Policy Server

The first time you log in to the Administrative UI using the default super user account (siteminder) and password, you establish a trusted relationship between the Administrative UI and a Policy Server. This relationship is required to manage your environment.

The super user account credentials are stored in the policy store. If you configure one of the default policy stores during the Policy Server installation, the installer submits these credentials automatically. If you configure the policy store independent of the Policy Server installation, use the XPSRegClient utility to submit the credentials to the Policy Server. The Policy Server uses these credentials to verify that the registration request is valid and that the relationship can be created.

Important! A 24-hour limit exists between the time the super user account credentials are submitted to the policy store and when the administrator logs in to the Administrative UI. If the credentials were set more than 24 hours before the initial log in to the Administrative UI, reset the credentials using the XPSRegClient utility.
