Policy Server Tools Introduced

SiteMinder provides a number of administrative tools to help manage your environment. The following list describes the function of each tool.

smobjimport

Imports policy data into the SiteMinder policy store.

Note: This utility is available only to import an existing backup smdif file into the policy store. To migrate a policy store manually, use the XPSExport and XPSImport utilities.

smkeyexport

Exports keys from the key store.

smkeyimport

Imports keys into the key store.

smkeytool

Lets you manage the certificate data store.

You can also use this utility with the access legacy key store flag (-accessLegacyKS) to manage an existing smkeydatabase during a migration to r12.5.

Note: For more information about migrating the contents of a smkeydatabase to the certificate data store, see the SiteMinder Upgrade Guide.

smldapsetup

Manages the SiteMinder policy store in an LDAP directory.

ODBC database SQL scripts

Removes SiteMinder policy store, token data, and log schema from ODBC databases.

smpatchcheck

Verifies that all required/recommended patches are installed on your Solaris system.

smreadclog

Reads RADIUS log files that the Policy Server generates.

smreg

Lets you change the SiteMinder superuser password.

In addition, SiteMinder provides tools for working with policy data. The following list provides an overview of the XPS-family of tools. XPS tools are platform-independent command line utilities that XPS administrators can use to manage policy store data. To learn about the options for a particular tool, enter the tool name followed by a question mark at the command line. For example:

XPSConfig ?

XPSConfig

Note: To use XPSConfig, your administrator account requires XPSConfig privileges.

XPSEvaluate

Evaluates expressions and lets you test performance.

Note: To use XPSEvaluate, your administrator account requires XPSEvaluate privileges.

XPSExplorer

Manages policy data including vendors, products, and applications.

Note: To use XPSExplorer, your administrator account requires XPSExplorer privileges.

XPSExport

Exports data from a policy store.

XPSImport

siteminder_home

Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

Important! After you use XPSSecurity, delete it from siteminder_home\bin to prevent unauthorized use.

Note: To use XPSSecurity, your administrator account requires XPSSecurity privileges.
