Create the Registration Credentials for the FSS Administrative UI

In addition to the SiteMinder Super User administrator account credentials, which were established when you installed the Policy Server and configured the policy store, the FSS Administrative UI login screen also requires the name and shared secret of a 4.x Agent. You establish these credentials to ensure that the communication between the FSS Administrative UI and the Policy Server is FIPS-encrypted (AES encryption).

Note: Creating a 4.x Agent identity to log into the FSS Administrative UI does not require that you to install a SiteMinder Web Agent, configure a Host Configuration Object and Agent Configuration object, or register a trusted host. The FSS Administrative UI only requires the 4.x Agent identity.

To create the 4x agent

1. Log into the Administrative UI.
2. Click Infrastructure, Agents.
3. Click Agent, Create Agent.

   The Create Agent screen appears. The create new object radio button is selected.

4. Click OK.

   Agent-related properties appear.

5. Enter an Agent name in the Agent Name field.

   Example: FSS UI Agent

   Note: Record the Agent name as it is required to log into the FSS Administrative UI.

6. Select the Supports 4.x agents check box in the Agent Type Settings group box.

   The Trust Settings group box appears.

7. Enter the IP Address of the machine hosting the Policy Server in the IP Address field.
8. Enter and confirm the Agent shared secret in the Shared Secret and Confirm Shared Secret fields.

   Note: Record the Agent shared secret as it is required to log into the FSS Administrative UI.

   You have created the required 4.x Agent credentials and may log into the FSS Administrative UI.
