Configure Periodic Key Rollover

The Policy Server supports periodic Agent key rollovers weekly, daily, or at fixed intervals in a single day. The shortest allowable period between rollovers is one hour.

To enable periodic Agent key rollover, the Enable Agent Key Generation check box must be selected in the Keys tab of the Policy Server Management Console.

Note: If your operating system is not configured to adjust the system time for daylight savings time, key rollover may be offset by one hour. To ensure that key rollover occurs at the expected time, configure your operating system to recognize daylight savings time.

To configure periodic key rollover

1. Log into the Policy Server User Interface.
2. From the menu bar of the SiteMinder Administration window, select Tools, Manage Keys.

   The SiteMinder Key Management dialog box opens.

3. In the Agent Key tab, select the Use Dynamic Key radio button.

   The dialog box changes to support dynamic keys.

4. In the Dynamic Key Detail group box, select the Automatic Key Rollover radio button. A description of the current automatic rollover settings appears below the radio button.
