  • make sure you take the key from "Administration" -> "Management servie" -> "ManagementClient" -> "Symmetric Key"; and not from "Service Settings" -> "Certificates and keys" – user764754 Dec 31 '12 at 18:01
  • I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution to your problem? I've noticed if I use another ACS account, a newer one, it works just fine – Fore Feb 21 '13 at 13:45

In ACS, you have keys for signing tokens and keys for authenticating when administrating your ACS namespace. The one you need to use when using the Identity and Access tool is the key for administration tasks. This is the management key, or management service credential, and it's found by doing the following:

  1. Login to the ACS portal, then click on Management service under Administration from the left nav.
  2. Under Management Service Accounts, click ManagementClient (the default management service account).
  3. On the Edit Management Service Account page, under Credentials click Symmetric Key.
  4. On the Edit Management Credential page, grab the key as shown below:

Make sure you dont use the new Management Portal to create ACS Namespace. Also your namespace should not end with "-sb" which happens automatically if you create a new ServiceBus. Refer to http://acs.codeplex.com/discussions/402589#post941177 for further details.

If you are using VS2012, it doesn't work. Use password instead of Symmetric key. Check this
