Configure a Data Source for CA SiteMinder®

If your CA Identity Manager environment uses a relational database for its identity store, the identity administrator is required to complete an additional process on the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server. CA SiteMinder® requires a local data source to communicate with the database.

Follow these steps:

  1. For Windows servers, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator console that is found under Administrative Tools.
  2. Click the System DSN tab.
  3. Click Add and select the corresponding CA SiteMinder® driver for your database.
  4. Provide the needed information to reference the relational database user store.
  5. Test the connectivity before you continue.
