Re-Encrypt the Policy Store Administrator Password

You re-encrypt the policy store administrator password to ensure that the data is encrypted using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

To re-encrypt the policy store administrator password

1. Start the Policy Server Management Console, and click the Data tab.

   Note: More information on starting the Policy Server Management Console exists in the Policy Server Administration Guide.

   Policy Store connection information appears.

2. Re-enter the administrator password in the Password field, and click Apply.

   The administrator password is encrypted using FIPS-compliant algorithms.

3. (Optional) If you have configured a separate database for one or more of the following, re-encrypt the administrator password for each:
   • key store
   • audit logs
   • token data
   • session server

   Important! A Policy Server operating in FIPS-only mode cannot decrypt a database password that remains encrypted with algorithms that are not FIPS compliant.

You may now re-encrypt the SiteMinder Super User password.
