Why does it fail every time it wants to create the super user account in CA SiteMinder during Policy Server Installation?


I'm trying to install the CA Policy Server from CA Single Sign-On (formerly CA SiteMinder)but after three or four times I'm getting always same error

COMMAND: "C:\Users\Administrator.AJC\AppData\Local\Temp\2\195853.tmp\smreg"      -su ******
RETURN: -1
STDOUT: The policy store could not be initialized.
Failed to create the super user account.
STDERR:
***

I tried to do what is mentioned on discussion "The policy store could not be initializated" from CA Security Single Sign On Community:

BASE TABLES: C:\F6\CA\siteminder\db\SQL\sm_mssql_ps.sql
XPS TABLES: C:\F6\CA\siteminder\xps\db\SQLServer.sql
Siteminder XDD files:  XPSImport C:\F6\CA\siteminder\xps\dd\SmMaster.xdd

But cannot run XPSImport. Also I cannot run smreg -su password and I don't have any idea what I'm doing wrong. I also googled about it but didn't found any solution. Any information you need to know in order to help me, just say it. I'm a little bit newbie with this lkind of environment (MS Windows Server, MS SQL Server, etc.)

King regards.

PS: I'm trying to do this in Windows Server 2012 R2 and I have installed SQL Server 2012. I decided to create the Policy Store in SQL Server. SiteMinder version is 15.2


Solution

  • CA SSO hasn't release any CA SSO version for MS Windows Server 2012 yet(they confirmed it to me in the official CA Communities Forum. See: Richard.Leto Jul 22, 2015 6:41 PM answer). So the installation is prone to fail. After installing CA SSO in MS Windows Server 2008 R2 and follow all the indications of this video everything went ok.

    Kind regards
