Configure Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

To configure an Oracle Internet Directory policy store

1. Configure the directory as a supported SiteMinder Policy Store.

   Note: Be sure that SiteMinder is pointing to this policy store. For configuration instructions, see the CA SiteMinder Policy Server Installation Guide.

2. Update the Oracle Internet Directory Server with the
   oracleoid_ims8.ldif file. The default installation location for this file on Window is:

   C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\policystore-schemas\OracleOID\

   See the Oracle Internet Directory documentation for instructions.

3. Start the Policy Server services as follows:
   1. Open the Policy Server Management Console.
   2. Click the Update button in the console and verify that the services started successfully.

Note: If you experience a timeout when searching for Admin roles using the wildcard (*) character, create a SearchTimeout string value in the LdapPolicy key in the registry. Set the value to a number greater than 20 seconds, which is the default search timeout, then restart the Policy Server services.

To access the registry on Windows, open Start, Run. Enter REGEDT32 in the Run window. On Solaris, open policy_server_home/registry/sm.registry.

The LdapPolicy key is located in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Ds\
