Configure an IdM token signing key in Service Portal

The idm.encryptedSigningKey parameter in the IdM service of Service Manager Service Portal specifies a key that is used to sign IdM tokens. You need to specify the same key in both Service Manager Service Portal and Service Manager.

To specify a key in Service Manager Service Portal, follow these steps:

  1. Open the <Service Portal installation directory>/<idm-service>/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.properties file in a text editor.
  2. Specify a value in the idm.encryptedSigningKey parameter.

    For example, specify the following key:

    idm.encryptedSigningKey = awscd456!

    Note There is no restriction on the length and characters of this key. You will need to specify the same key (for example, awscd456!) on the Service Manager side. For details, see Configure SAML SSO in Service Manager (using standalone IdM).

  3. Replace the key value with an encrypted value. 

    For example:

    idm.encryptedSigningKey = ENC(UieBIttqNNNwG/VSG1IlukuGaYF2MVPz)

    For detailed steps to encrypt a password, see Encrypt a password in Service Manager Service Portal.
