LDAP Directory Servers as a Policy or Key Store

The SOA Security Manager policy store is the repository for all policy–related information. All Policy Servers in a SOA Security Manager installation must share the same policy store data, either directly or through replication. SOA Security Manager is installed with tools that let administrators move policy store data from one storage facility to another.

When you install the Policy Server, you can automatically configure one of the following directory servers as a policy store:

• Microsoft Active Directory in Application Mode (ADAM)
• Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
• Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (formerly Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition)

If you do not use the Policy Server to configure a policy store automatically, you can manually configure a policy store after installing the Policy Server. Additionally, after you install the Policy Server, you can use the Policy Server Management Console to point the Policy Server to an existing policy store.

Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.
