Task 10: Specify an IdM token signing key

You need to specify a key for signing IdM tokens.

  1. Open the <idm-service>\WEB-INF\spring\applicationContext.properties file in a text editor.
  2. Specify a key 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. When the IdM service deployment is complete, you will need to specify the same key on the Service Manager side. For details, see Configure SAML SSO in Service Manager (using standalone IdM).
