Enable Access Roles for Use with SiteMinder

To use access roles with CA SiteMinder, CA Identity Manager mirrors all objects in the Identity Manager object store related to those access roles in the SiteMinder policy store. To enable this to occur, you configure a property in the Identity Manager Management Console.

To enable access roles for use with SiteMinder

1. Open the Management Console.
2. Select Environment, Your Environment, Advanced Settings, Miscellaneous.
3. Add a new property by providing the following information:
   • In the Property field, enter the following:

     EnableSMRBAC

   • In the Value field, enter the following:

     true

4. Click Add. Then, click Save.

   A message indicating that the environment needs to restart appears.

5. Click Restart Environment.

   CA Identity Manager now supports access roles and tasks for use with CA SiteMinder.

Once you enable access roles for use with CA SiteMinder, note the following:

• If you used access roles in CA Identity Manager r8x, you need to perform an additional migration step to manage those access roles in the current version of CA Identity Manager. For more information, see the Upgrade Guide.
• To disable support for access roles in SiteMinder, delete the Identity Manager access role and task objects from the SiteMinder policy store. Then, remove the “EnableSMRBAC” Property from the Miscellaneous Properties list and restart the Environment.
