Error: Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key
By peter.stilgoe
If you are receiving the error Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key. the problem is that the credentials could not be encrypted because no credential key has been established; to establish a credential key you must run STSADM -o setappassword -password
After you have established a credential key to encrypt the logon identity password you will be able to run STSADM -o setproperty -url http://server:port -pn “peoplepicker-searchadforests” -pv “domain:bar.foo.corp.com”, LoginName, P@ssword.
