Check SmHost.conf File Permissions for Shared Secret Rollover

If you enable shared secret rollover, the user who owns the web server process must have permissions to write to the SmHost.conf file. If this file cannot be modified by this user, then the shared secret rollover cannot be updated.

For example, for IIS web servers, the account associated with the IIS web server processes needs appropriate permissions for the SMHost.conf file. In many versions of IIS, this account is the Network Service account.
