Update-SPSecureStoreMasterKey – Secure Store Service did not performed the operation

If AutoSPInstaller fails while provisioning the Secure Store Service Application you may encounter this error:

– Provisioning Secure Store Service Application…

– Secure Store Service Application already provisioned.

– Creating the Master Key…

Update-SPSecureStoreMasterKey : Secure Store Service did not performed the operation.

At \\server\share\SP\AutoSPInstaller\AutoSPInstallerFunctions.ps1:3818 char:13

This is because the Claims to Token Service is not started.  You manually start it through Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server

There is also an option within the AutoSPInstallerInput.xml file to have it started automatically during installation:

<ClaimsToWindowsTokenService Start="True" UpdateAccount="False" />
