(Optional) Integrate with SiteMinder

A SiteMinder Policy Server is an optional component that you install as described in the CA SiteMinder Installation Guide. If you plan to make the policy server highly available, you configure it as a policy server cluster.

To install a policy server

1. Install the SiteMinder Policy Server. For details, see the CA SiteMinder Web Access Manager Policy Server Installation Guide.
2. If you plan to make the policy server highly available, install it on each node that should be in the Policy Server cluster.

   Note: Each Policy Server in the cluster uses the same policy store.

3. Check that you can ping the systems that host the Policy Server from the system where you plan to install the Identity Manager Server.

To install the Identity Manager Extensions for SiteMinder

Before installing the Identity Manager server, you add the extensions to each Policy Server. If the Policy Server is on the system where you plan to install the Identity Manager server, you can install the extensions and the Identity Manager server simultaneously. If so, omit this procedure.

1. Stop the SiteMinder services.
2. Install the Identity Manager Extensions for SiteMinder. Do one of the following:
   • Windows: From your installation media, run the following program in the top-level folder:

     ca-im-r12.5spN-win32.exe
     

   • UNIX: From your installation media, run the following program in the top-level folder:

     ca-im-r12.5spN-sol.bin
     

   spN represents the current SP release of CA Identity Manager.

3. Select Extensions for SiteMinder.
4. Complete the instructions in the installation dialog boxes.
