SiteMinder Key Database Information

You only have to gather SOA Security Manager key database (smkeydatabase) information if you:

• Plan on using features related to CA SiteMinder Federation Security Services.
• Plan on configuring a SOA Security Manager Information Card Authentication scheme, for example, for the support of Microsoft CardSpace.

The Policy Server installer requires that you enter a password when configuring the smkeydatabase. The smkeydatabase password is used to encrypt the key and certificate data in the key database. You can use the SOA Security Manager Key Database Information Worksheet to record your value.
