Creation of Secure Store Service in SharePoint:
Please follow the steps below to create a Secure store
service in SharePoint.
- Register a managed account in
SharePoint Server 2013 to run the Secure Store application pool.
- Start the Secure Store Service on
an application server in the farm.
- Create a Secure Store Service
application.
To run the
application pool, you must have a standard domain account. No specific
permissions are required for this account. Once the account has been created in
Active Directory, follow these steps to register it with SharePoint Server
2013.
To register a managed account :
- On the SharePoint Central
Administration Web site home page, in the left navigation, click Security.
- On the Security page, in the General
Security section, click Configure managed accounts.
- On the Managed Accounts page,
click Register Managed Account.
- In the User name box, type the
name of the account.
- In the Password box, type the
password for the account.
- If you want SharePoint Server 2013
to handle changing the password for the account, select the Enable
automatic password change box and specify the password change parameters
that you want to use.
- Click OK.
To start the Secure Store Service
On the Central Administration home
page, in the System Settings section, click Manage services on server.
- Above the Service list, click the Server
drop-down list, and then click Change Server.
- Select the application server
where you want to run the Secure Store Service.
- In the Service list, click Start
next to Secure Store Service.
Once the
service is started, you must create a Secure Store Service application. Use the
following procedure to create the service application.
To create a Secure Store Service service application
On the Central Administration home page, in the Application Management section, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, click New, and then click Secure Store Service.
In the Service Application Name box, type a name for the service application (for example, Secure Store Service).
In the Database Server box, type the instance of SQL Server where you want to create the Secure Store database.
Select the Create new application pool option and type a name for the application pool in the text box.6. Select the Configurable option, and, from the drop-down list, select the account for which you created the managed account earlier.
7. Click OK.
The
Secure Store Service has now been configured. The next step is to generate an
encryption key for encrypting the Secure Store database.
