Checklist for Enabling Access Roles in SiteMinder

Note: The following steps assume that the application to which the access role you are creating applies is already protected by SiteMinder. If you are creating an access role for an application that is not protected by SiteMinder, see the CA eTrust SiteMinder Policy Design guide for instructions on configuring the application in SiteMinder.

Step

Refer to...

 

1. In the Policy Server User Interface, assign the user directory that is associated with the Identity Manager environment to a Policy Domain.

2. Add the Identity Manager environment to the SiteMinder domain that protects the application to which the access role applies.

3. In the Policy Domain, create realms and rules (if they do not already exist) that correspond to the resources to which the access role will grant access.

4. Create a response to pass entitlement information to the resource.
