Back up the master secret

Back up the master secret:

I was facing an issue of repeated event log entry of not backing up SSO master secret after I installed and configured the BizTalk server 2004. The log entry looks like this:




Here is the step of how to back up you master secret for SSO

At the command line, go to the Enterprise Single Sign-On installation directory.
C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On\
Type the following syntax at the command prompt to backup the master secret key:
ssoconfig -backupsecret "C:\Backup\master-secret.backup
(or any other name in any other folder)
That’s all. No more error logs.!

UPDATE:
Here is the link from MSDN where you can generate, backup & resotre SSO Master Secret for BizTalk.
