(Optional) Integrate with SiteMinder

A SiteMinder Policy Server is an optional component that you install as described in the SiteMinder Installation Guide. If you plan to make the Policy Server highly available, you configure it as a Policy Server cluster. You also install JCE libraries to enable communication with CA IdentityMinder.

To install a Policy Server:

1. Install the SiteMinder Policy Server. For details, see the CA SiteMinder Policy Server Installation Guide.
2. To make the Policy Server highly available, install it on each node that should be in the Policy Server cluster.

   Note: Each Policy Server in the cluster uses the same policy store.

3. Verify that you can ping the systems that host the Policy Server from the system where you plan to install the CA IdentityMinder Server.

To install the CA IdentityMinder Extensions for SiteMinder:

Before you install the CA IdentityMinder server, you add the extensions to each Policy Server. Assume that the Policy Server is on the system where you planned to install the CA IdentityMinder server. Then, you can install the extensions and the CA IdentityMinder server simultaneously. If so, omit this procedure.

1. Stop the CA SiteMinder services.
2. Set your default directory location to the root of the SiteMinder installation area.
3. Issue the following command:

   ./stop-all
   

   All SiteMinder executables shut down.

4. Install the CA IdentityMinder Extensions for SiteMinder. Do one of the following tasks:
   • Windows: From your installation media, run the following program in the top-level folder:

     ca-im-release-win32.exe
     

   • UNIX: From your installation media, run the following program in the top-level folder:

     ca-im-release-sol.bin
     

   release represents the current release of CA IdentityMinder.

5. Select Extensions for SiteMinder.
6. Complete the instructions in the installation dialog boxes.
7. Issue the following command:

   ./stop-all
   

   All SiteMinder executables shut down.

8. Issue the following command:

   ./start-all
   

   All SiteMinder executables start.

To install JCE Libraries:

The CA IdentityMinder server requires the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) libraries if you are also using CA SiteMinder.

Before you install the CA IdentityMinder Server, perform these steps:

1. Download and install the Java Cryptography Extension Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.
2. Select the one that works with your application server and JDK.

   The download ZIP file includes a readme text file with installation instructions.
