Trusted Relationship with a Policy Server

A trusted relationship between the Administrative UI and a Policy Server is required to begin managing your environment. You establish this relationship the first–time you log in using the default SiteMinder super user account (siteminder) and password. These credentials are stored in the policy store.

When you configure the policy store, you use the XPSRegClient utility to submit the super user 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.

Note: If you used the Policy Server installer to configure the policy store automatically, the installer used the XPSRegClient utility to submit the credentials.

The time from which the credentials are supplied to when the initial Administrative UI login can occur is limited to 24 hours. Therefore, the process for installing the Administrative UI is determined by when the policy store is configured and the Administrative UI is installed.
