"The master secret has not been backed up. If you lose
the master secret all the information stored in the SSO
system will be lost permanently and your systems may fail
to work correctly. Please use the SSO admin tools to back
up your master secret."

I get this message in the event log, but I am not able to
find any information on the SSO admin tool that I am told
to use.

Thanks from Berit

Hi Berit,

I found this in the documentation for Biztalk 200.
.............................

You can back up the master secret key from the master secret server onto an
NTFS system or removable media, such as a floppy disk.

You must be a Single Sign-On Administrator to perform this task. You will
be prompted for a password. To restore the secret later, you must specify
the same password.



Warning  If the master secret server crashes and the key is lost, or if the
key becomes corrupted, you will not be able to retrieve the configuration
of adapters stored in the Credential database. You must back up the master
secret key, or you risk losing data from the credential database.

To back up the master secret key

1.               On the Start menu, click Run.

2.               In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.

3.               At the command line, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On
installation directory. The default installation directory is <install
directory>:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On.

4.               Type the following syntax at the command prompt to backup
the master secret key:

ssoconfig -backupsecret <backup file>


Note  <backup file> is the path and name of the file where the master
secret will be backed up. For example, A:\ssobackup.bak



Note  You need to be a local administrator and an SSO Administrator to run
these ssoconfig commands Check the event log if they fail. These commands
can only be run on the master secret server.

Thanks.
