Description
The Dimensions Administrator's Guide documents the use of sso_encstring.bat for encrypting password strings for SSO. The result of this encryption is place in the Tomcat webapps\idp\WEB-INF\conf\Configuration.xml file.
After a new installation, running sso_encstring.bat may yield the error:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.eclipse.alf.security.sso.common.http.configuration.EncryptedSettingCryptoProvider
Resolution
For sso_encstring.bat to run successfully, the IDP application must be properly deployed in the Tomcat webapps folder. By default a Dimensions installation will not deploy this file.
After installation, the idp.war file is located at: <Program Files>\Micro Focus\Dimensions 14.5\CM\webtools\sso\idp.war
Copy this file into: <Tomcat-home>\webapps\ folder. Tomcat will deploy the war file, creating an idp folder within the webapps folder. Depending on your version of Tomcat you may have to wait a few minutes for this to deploy or you may have to restart Tomcat.
Once this file is deployed the sso_encstring.bat command file will work as documented.
