Update an Alias in SiteMinder Realms

If you modify the protected or public alias in the Management Console, CA Identity Manager tries to update the alias names in the Policy Server. If CA Identity Manager cannot update the names, you must manually update them in one of the following interfaces:

• For CA SiteMinder Web Access Manager r12 or higher, use the Administrative UI
• For CA eTrust SiteMinder 6.0 SP5, use the Policy Server User Interface

To update the SiteMinder realm in the policy domain

1. Locate the realms for the Identity Manager Environment.

   These realms are created automatically (along with other required SiteMinder objects) when CA Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder.

   The realms use the following naming convention:

   • Identity Manager-environment_ims_realm—Protects the User Console.
   • Identity Manager-environment_pub_realm—Enables support for public tasks, such as self-registration and forgotten password tasks. This realm appears only if you have configured a public alias.

     Note: If you are using the Policy Server User Interface to modify the realm, locate the policy domain (Identity Manager-environmentDomain) for the Identity Manager environment first. The realms are located under the domain.

2. Modify the resource for the realm as follows:

   /iam/im/new_alias

   Do not remove the /iam/im/ that precedes the alias in the resource filter.

3. Save the changes.

Note: Modify Identity Manager Environment Properties provides instructions on changing the alias in the Management Console.
