Point the Policy Server to the Policy Store

You point the Policy Server to the policy store so the Policy Server can access the policy store.

To point the Policy Server to the policy store

1. Open the Policy Server Management Console.

   Important! If you are accessing this graphical user interface on Windows Server 2008, open the shortcut with Administrator permissions. Use Administrator permissions even if you are logged in to the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SOA Security Manager component.

2. Click the Data tab.

   Database settings appear.

3. Select Policy Store from the Database list.
4. Select LDAP from the Storage list.
5. Configure the following settings in the LDAP Policy Store group box.
   • LDAP IP Address
   • Admin Username
   • Password
   • Confirm Password
   • DN

   Note: You can click Help for a description of fields, controls, and their respective requirements.

6. Click Apply.

   The policy store settings are saved.

7. Click Test LDAP Connection.

   SOA Security Manager returns a confirmation that the Policy Server can access the policy store.
