Aliases in SiteMinder Realms

An alias is a unique string that is added to the URL for accessing an Identity Manager environment. For example, when an environment’s alias is employees, the URL for accessing that environment is as follows:

http://myserver.mycompany.org/iam/im/employees

myserver.mycompany.org

Defines the fully qualified domain name of the server where Identity Manager is installed.

You specify at least one alias when you create an Identity Manager environment in the Management Console. (You may also specify a public alias.)

SiteMinder uses the environment name to name the objects that protect the environment. For example, when you specify the name employees, SiteMinder creates objects named employeesobject_type.

object_type

Defines the SiteMinder object, such as employees_ims_realm.

The following illustration shows two of the objects that SiteMinder creates:
