Issue/Introduction

The Gateway and Single SignOn registration has a defect when adding a new policy server. The registration does not populate additional policy servers in the host configuration object. This affects new registration and when re-registration is performed. 

For re-registration if additional policy servers have been added they get removed setting it back to one

see example :

Before the re-Registration
 
The information and values about :
 
Address
Authentication.port
Authorization.port
connection.max
connection.min
connection.step
timeout
 
are present on the screen above.
 
After re-Registration
 
 
Note : The information about :
Address
Authentication.port
Authorization.port
connection.max
connection.min
connection.step
timeout
 
are missed on the screen above. To recover that required info, apply the workaround suggested as a solution.

 




Environment

API Gateway 9.4

Cause

The registration does not populate additional policy servers in the host configuration object. This affects new registration and when re-registration is performed. 

Resolution

The procedure to export the siteminder_configuration_property data table from the mysql ssg db, then restore it after Single Sign On registration configuration.

Dump and restore a single table from .sql Dump :

1. To export the Siteminder config, run this command (this is the dump process you need to run from Linux gateway terminal mode):

mysqldump -u root -p ssg siteminder_configuration_property > ssg.siteminder_configuration_property.sql

2. To restore tables in one line, run this command from the gateway server terminal mode:

mysql -u root -p ssg < ssg.siteminder_configuration_property.sql

This will re-create the data into the siteminder_configuration_property table to have the same data as Before the Registration process.
