When trying to manage the Secure Store Service in SharePoint 2010 I ran into an error stating that the “secure store shared service is not responding…”

ULS logs dumped the following critical error message:

08/30/2013 12:27:50.80	w3wp.exe (0x1AEC)
0x16E8	Secure Store Service
Secure Store

Critical
The Secure Store Service application Secure Store Service is not accessible. The 
full exception text is: The HTTP service located at 
http://localhost:32843/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/securitytoken.svc/actas 
is too busy.

After stumbling around google for a while, I came across the following article which suggested that the Security Token service needed to be reprovisioned: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2010/07/16/sharepoint-2010-service-applications-bcs-metadata-access-service-are-not-working.aspx
