Gather Environment Information

Re-encrypting existing sensitive data while the Policy Server operates in FIPS-migration mode requires specific environment information.

Note: A FIPS information worksheet is provided to help you gather and record information prior to re-encrypting sensitive data. You may want to print this worksheet and use it to record required information.

• Policy store key—For each Policy Server in the environment, copy the policy store encryption key from the EncryptionKey.txt file and save them to a single location from which you can copy them. The EncryptionKey.txt file is located in policy_server_home\bin.
  • policy server home

    Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

• SiteMinder Super User account name and password— Identify the SiteMinder Super User account name and password. SiteMinder tools you use to re-encrypt data require this information.

  Note: This is the account that is used for all administrative tasks that do not require direct access to the Administrative UI. These are not the credentials for the Administrative UI administrator account with Super User privileges.

• Policy store administrator password—Identify the policy store administrator password. This is the password that was supplied when the connection between the policy store and the Policy Server was configured.
