Generate a Random Session Ticket Key

The Policy Server can generate the session ticket key using a method similar to the one for generating dynamic Agent keys. Randomly generating the session ticket key enables the Policy Server to use an algorithm to create the key used for encryption and decryption.

To generate a random session ticket key

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

   The the SiteMinder Key Management dialog box opens.

3. Select the Session Ticket Key tab to bring it to the front.
4. In the Generate a Random Session Ticket Key group box, click Rollover Now.

   The Policy Server generates a new session ticket key. This key immediately replaces the one that is used to encrypt and decrypt session tickets.
