Configure SiteMinder High Availability for a WebSphere Cluster

If you have created a SiteMinder Policy Server cluster, you can configure the WebSphere cluster to use it for load balancing and failover.

To configure SiteMinder high availability for a WebSphere cluster

1. Edit the ra.xml file in this location:

   WAS_PROFILE/config/cells/CELL_NAME/applications/IdentityMinder.ear/deployments/IdentityMinder/policyserver_rar/META-INF
   

2. Modify these items, which are explained in the sections that follow:
   • Connection settings for the Policy Server
   • The number of Policy Servers
   • The selection of load balancing or failover for the cluster.
3. Repeat these steps for each Identity Manager server in the cluster.
4. Restart the WebSphere server for changes to take effect.
