Symantec Access Management

After installing Strong Authentication 8.2 and configuring DB scripts, when I try to validate the DB schema as:

./arwfutil vdb

I get the error message as:

Could not retrieve database password from ARCOT_HOME/conf/securestore.enc for DSN [arcotdsn], can not proceed

Please make sure ARCOT_HOME is set and arcotcommon.ini and securestore.enc are available in ARCOT_HOME/conf/

The ARCOT_HOME is set. But the securestore.enc file is missing.

Any pointers?

You could use DBUtil option to create the securestore.enc file.

Navigate to the following location where DBUtil is available:
On Windows

<install_location>\Arcot Systems\tools\win

On UNIX-based Platforms

<install_location>/arcot/tools/<platform_name>

-init
Creates a securestore.enc with the new master key that you specify, as discussed in "Updating the Master Key".

Syntax:

dbutil -init key

For example:

dbutil -init MasterKeyNew

dbutil -init RiskFortDatabaseMKNew

Important! This command succeeds only if there is no securestore.enc in the conf directory.

To insert the supplied database values in securestore.enc, use the following commands:
(For software mode) dbutil -pi <dbUser> <dbPassword>

Please refer below link for more details.

Hi Sharan,

I've updated the ticket to be closed as I was able to fix the issue myself.
