Federation Manager Deployment with SiteMinder

Federation Manager includes a built-in SiteMinder Connector that enables it to share user identity information with applications protected by SiteMinder. This integration between Federation Manager and SiteMinder facilitates single sign-on. The SiteMinder Connector can be used with proxy or standalone deployment mode.

You enable the SiteMinder Connector on a per-partnership basis, so that some partnerships can use the Connector while others do not. There is only one global SiteMinder Connector object. When you enable the Connector for a partnership, the partnership uses the global Connector configuration.

Important! The SiteMinder Connector is for connecting to an independent SiteMinder installation. Do not install Federation Manager on a system where the SiteMinder Policy Server or Secure Proxy Server (SPS) is already installed.
