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 via 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, the default policy store is a Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE/iPlanet) Directory Server or Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode. You can configure the Policy Server to use another LDAP directory, a SQL Server database, or an Oracle database as a policy store after you have completed the Policy Server installation. Also, after installation, you can use the Policy Server Management Console's Data tab to have the Policy Server point to another policy store.

Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the SOA Security Manager r12.1 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site. This matrix also lists the Policy Server components supported on a Japanese operating system.
