Backup Your BizTalk Server 2004 Master Secret

Do you have BizTalk Server 2004 installed and you're Event Log is full of ENTSSO events?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ENTSSO
Event Category: Enterprise Single Sign-On
Event ID: 10589
Date:  26-4-2004
Time:  13:03:37
User:  N/A
Computer: 
Description:
The master secret has not been backed up. If you lose the master secret all the information stored in the SSO system will be lost permanently and your systems may fail to work correctly. Please use the SSO admin tools to back up your master secret.

There's a very easy solution for this; simply use the SSOCONFIG.EXE utility that is installed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On. So open a command prompt, navigate to that directory and type this command:

ssoconfig -backupsecret mybackup.bak

The utility will ask for a password and a reminder, so it can backup the master secret into the file you've specified. What's better than an event log without red crosses? ;-)

Outstanding. I've been seeing too much red and didn't find anything on KB to solve it.

The password has to be at least 7 characters long... otherwise the backup fails without any error msgs...
