Example: SiteMinder and CA Identity Manager Installation

CA Identity Manager can be integrated with a SiteMinder Policy Server, which provides advanced authentication and protection for your environments. The following figure is an example of a CA Identity Manager installation that uses a CA SiteMinder Policy Server for authentication and authorization:

This example shows SiteMinder can integrate with CA Identity Manager.

The SiteMinder elements are defined as follows:

SiteMinder Web Agent

Works with the SiteMinder Policy Server to protect the User Console. Installed on the system with the CA Identity Manager Server.

SiteMinder Policy Server

Provides advanced authentication and authorization for CA Identity Manager and facilities such as Password Services, and Single Sign-On.

SiteMinder Policy Server Extensions

Enable a SiteMinder Policy Server to support CA Identity Manager. Install the extensions on each SiteMinder Policy Server system in your CA Identity Manager implementation.

The CA Identity Manager components are defined in the previous example on a single node installation; however, in this example, the components are installed on different platforms. The CA Identity Manager databases are on Microsoft SQL Server and the user store is on the IBM directory Server. The SiteMinder Policy Store is on AD LDS on Windows, which is one of several supported platforms for a policy store.
