Set Rollover Frequency

To set the automatic rollover frequency for agent keys

1. Click Set Rollover Frequency on the SiteMinder Key Management dialog box.

   The Set Frequency dialog box opens.

2. Select one of the following radio buttons:

   Rollover Once Per Week

   Indicates Agent keys rollover once per week on the day and time you select from the Day and Hour drop-down lists. A time of 0:00 means 12:00 am.

   Rollover Once Per Day

   Indicates Agent keys rollover once per day at the time you select from the Hour drop-down list.

   Rollover

   Indicates Agent keys rollover a number of times each day you select from the times per day drop-down list. The rollovers are distributed evenly throughout the day. For example, if you select 4 from the list, The Policy Server generates new keys at midnight, 6:00 AM, noon, and 6:00 PM.

   Note: You must specify all times as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Since Policy Servers may span many times zones, this ensures that a SiteMinder deployment rolls over keys at a specific moment in time across all Policy Servers in your enterprise.

3. Click OK.

Note: Session timeouts must be less than or equal to twice the interval between Agent key rollovers. If a session timeout is greater than twice the specified interval, users may be challenged to reauthenticate before their sessions terminate. For information about session timeouts, see the SiteMinder Web Agent Guide and the SiteMinder Policy Design Guide.
