When attempting to "Generate Key" for the "Secure Store Application" in CA, an error occurs suggesting I contact the administrator. I don't find anything in the event or SharePoint logs to explain the issue. Should I look somewhere else?
If I try from PowerShell to use Update-SPSecureStoreMasterKey the command seems to execute just fine but CA remains in the same state, requiring I generate a key. If I use Update-SPSecureStoreApplicationServerKey I am told the "master secret key is not present in the database."
Which database? How do I add the "Master secret key"? Could this be the underlining issue in CA's attempts to "generate a key"?
Do Update-SPSecureStoreMasterKey and Update-SPSecureStoreApplicationServerKey require the use of a "SecureString" like Set-SPPassPhrase as the PassPhrase?
Any other insights?
