SiteMinder Passwords: Lets you to change the password for the administrator account that Identity Manager uses to communicate with SiteMinder, and the shared secret for the SiteMinder agent that protects a Identity Manager Environment.
Configure Identity Manager Agent Settings: Tunes the performance of the Identity Manager agent that communicates with the SiteMinder Policy Server.
Use Different Directories for Authentication and Authorization: Enables administrators who have profiles in one directory to manage users in a different directory.
