Master Secret Server not available

When configuring BizTalk, you might bump into this error: "Cannot perform encryption or decryption because the secret is not available from the master secret server".

A simple way to solve this problem:
  • Open a command prompt
  • Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On\
  • Type in this command:
    ssoconfig -restoresecret SSO3F38.bak (or another file that looks like this one, it's the SSO back-up file)
  • Enter the password
  • Create a new back-up file with this command:
    ssoconfig -backupsecret latestbackup.dat
