Configure the SiteMinder Connector

For Federation Manager to operate with SiteMinder, you must configure the SiteMinder Connector settings in the Federation Manager UI.

Note: For these settings to be available, you must select the SiteMinder Connector during Federation Manager installation.

To configure the SiteMinder Connector

Log in to the Federation Manager UI.
From the Infrastructure tab, select Deployment Settings.
The Configure Deployment Settings dialog opens.
Fill in all the fields in the SiteMinder Connector Settings group box.
Note: You can click Help for a description of fields, controls, and their respective requirements.
Click Register Host and provide the administrator credentials for the SiteMinder Policy Server.
This step registers Federation Manager as an Agent with the SiteMinder Policy Server.

Note: You can configure failover support for the host registration process by specifying more than one Policy Server. If the registration with the primary Policy Server fails, Federation Manager moves to the next Policy Server specified until the registration process completes successfully.
Restart the Federation Manager services, according to your operating environment.
- Windows
  Use the Federation Manager stop and start shortcuts as follows:
  1. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Stop services
  2. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Start services
- Solaris
  a. Open a command window.
  
  b. Run the following scripts:
  
  federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh stop
  
  federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh start
  
  When you run the fedmanager.sh script, it sources the Federation Manager environment script, ca_federation_env.ksh.
  
  Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user. You must be a non-root user.

The SiteMinder Connector configuration is complete.
