Example: SiteMinder and CA IdentityMinder Installation

CA IdentityMinder can be integrated with a SiteMinder Policy Server, which provides advanced authentication and protection for your environments. The following figure is an example of a CA IdentityMinder installation that uses a CA SiteMinder Policy Server for authentication and authorization:

This example shows SiteMinder can integrate with CA IdentityMinder.

The SiteMinder elements are defined as follows:

SiteMinder Web Agent

Works with the SiteMinder Policy Server to protect the User Console. Installed on the system with the CA IdentityMinder Server.

SiteMinder Policy Server

Provides advanced authentication and authorization for CA IdentityMinder and facilities such as Password Services, and Single Sign-On.

SiteMinder Policy Server Extensions

Enable a SiteMinder Policy Server to support CA IdentityMinder. Install the extensions on each SiteMinder Policy Server system in your CA IdentityMinder implementation.

The CA IdentityMinder components are defined in the previous example on a single node installation; however, in this example, the components are installed on different platforms. The CA IdentityMinder databases are on Microsoft SQL Server and the user store is on the IBM directory Server. The SiteMinder Policy Store is on AD LDS on Windows, which is one of several supported platforms for a policy store.
