Aliases in SiteMinder Realms

An alias is a unique string that is added to the URL for accessing a CA Identity Manager environment. For example, when the alias of an environment 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 CA Identity Manager is installed.

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

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

object_type

Defines the CA SiteMinder® object, such as employees_ims_realm.

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