Issue/Introduction

When running several AdminUI's, there is no tool such as 'smreghost' to re-register a given AdminUI.

This process needs to be done manually and the following indicates how to re-register only 1 AdminUI when there are several set for the same environment.

 

Environment

PRODUCT: Siteminder

COMPONENT: AdminUI

VERSION: r12.8.x

OPERATING SYSTEM: Any

 

Resolution

1. Logon to the AdminUI machine;

2. If the AdminUI runs on Linux, insure that /dev/random is linked
      to /dev/urandom or insure that rngd daemon is running;

3. Stop the AdminUI;

4. Browse to the following directory:  

      <AdminUI_Install>/CA/siteminder/adminui/standalone/data/siteminder

5. Open the "<OID>.conf"

      example: c10ec083-3703-36a9-ab76-28027e8441a6.conf

6. Record the value in the "hostname=" field

      hostname= example.com

7. Delete or backup the '/data', '/tmp' and '/log' directories and
      all of its contents;

8. Start the AdminUI;
  
9. Logon to the Policy Server;
  
10. Run XPSExplorer;
  
11. Delete the Trusted Host whose name matches the value of the
      'hostname=' from the <OID>.conf on the AdminUI;

12. Delete the Admin object whose name prefixed with "SMWAMUI:"
      also matches the 'hostname=' from the <OID>.conf on the AdminUI;

      example: SMWAMUI:example.net__0

13. Prepare the Policy Server for a new AdminUI registration :

      XPSRegClient siteminder:<password> -adminui-setup

14. Logon to the AdminUI with a web browser to 

      http://<AdminUI_FQDN>:8080/iam/siteminder/adminui

15. Populate the following fields:
