Advanced Password Services Components

In previous releases:

• You installed the Advanced Password Services (APS) Policy Server–side components with the APS installation kit.
• APS configuration files (APS.cfg and SmPortal.cfg) only supported IPv4 addresses.
• The SmPortal configuration file could only reference servers with IP addresses.

Consider the following items:

• The Policy Server installer is enhanced to include all Policy Server–side components.

  Note: For more information about enabling the Policy Server–side APS components, see the CA SiteMinder Advanced Password Services Guide.

• The installer installs all APS server files to the same location as did the APS installer.
• The installer installs the smaps shared library to the following items:
  • (Windows) siteminder_home\bin
  • (UNIX) siteminder_home/lib

  siteminder_home

  Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

• APS configuration files support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

  Note: Some APS user directory attributes store an IP address. APSAdmin allows 15 characters for an IP address entry. If an IPv6 address is longer than 15 characters, it is truncated to fit and prefixed with a "T".

• The SmPortal configuration file can reference servers with fully qualified domain names and IP addresses.
• A Policy Server upgrade retains all LANG (translation), CFG (configuration), and mail files. The default r12.5 versions of the files are installed to siteminder_home\samples.

  siteminder_home

  Specifies the Policy Server installation path.
