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 SiteMinder administrator with super user permissions.

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

   • passphrase

     Specifies the password for the SiteMinder administrator account.

     Note: If you do not specify the passphrase, XPSRegClient prompts you to enter and confirm it.

   • -adminui-setup

     Specifies that the Administrative UI is being re–registered with a Policy Server.

   • -t timeout

     (Optional) Specifies the allotted time from when you to install the Administrative UI to the time you log in and create a trusted relationship with a Policy Server. The Policy Server denies the registration request when the timeout value is exceeded.

     Default: 1440 (24 hours)

     Minimum limit: 1

     Maximum limit: 1440 (24 hours)

   • -r retries

     (Optional) Specifies how many failed attempts are allowed when you are registering the Administrative UI. A failed attempt can result from submitting incorrect SiteMinder administrator credentials when logging into the Administrative UI to complete the registration process.

     Maximum limit: 5

   • -c comment

     (Optional) Inserts the specified comments into the registration log file for informational purposes.

     Note: Surround comments with quotes.

   • -l log path

     (Optional) Specifies where the registration log file must be exported.

     Default: siteminder_home\log

     siteminder_home

     Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

   • -e error path

     (Optional) Sends exceptions to the specified path.

     Default: stderr

   • -vT

     (Optional) Sets the verbosity level to TRACE.

   • -vI

     (Optional) Sets the verbosity level to INFO.
