If your MSS should fail, here are the steps to promote a member server to the MSS:
- Change the master secret server name from the original to the new using ssomanage: “ssomanage -updatedb”.
- Stop the ENTSSO service on the new master secret server.
- Start the ENTSSO service on the new master secret server. It will recognize that it is the master secret server and that it has no secrets.
- On the new master secret server, restore the backed up master secret file using ssoconfig: “ssoconfig -restoresecret BackupFile”
The new server is now the master of the group.
