To Reset the Shared Secret

This task applies to all platforms.

1. Go to the following directory:

   PolicyAgent-base/bin

2. Execute the appropriate platform-specific script in the command line:

   • UNIX-based Systems:

     # ./crypt_util shared-secret

   • Windows Systems:

     cryptit shared-secret

   where shared-secret represents the password, that along with the agent user name, allows the web agent to authenticate with Access Manager. The default value of the shared secret is the password of the Access Manager internal LDAP authentication user. This user is commonly referred to as amldapuser.

3. Copy the output obtained after issuing the preceding command and paste it as the value for the following property:

   com.sun.am.policy.am.password

4. Restart the deployment container and try accessing any resource protected by the agent.

   If the agent gets redirected to Access Manager, this indicates the above steps were executed properly.
