Common Key Store Single Sign–on Requirements

If you are deploying a common key store, do the following or single sign–on fails:

• Be sure that the r6.x policy and key store are configured separately.

  Note: For more information about configuring a key store, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

• Leave the key store version at r6.x. r12.0 SP2 Policy Servers can communicate with an r6.x key store, but r6.x Policy Servers cannot communicate with an r12.0 SP2 key store.
• Configure all Policy Servers to use the common r6.x key store.
• Be sure that all Policy Servers use the same encryption key. If you do not know the value of the encryption key, you can reset the r6.x value in the policy store. Use the new value when installing an r12.0 SP2 Policy Server.

  Note: For more information about resetting the policy store encryption key, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

• Nominate a single Policy Server to generate dynamic Agent keys. Disable Agent key generation for the remaining Policy Servers.

  Note: For more information about dynamically generating Agent keys, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.
