Troubleshoot the Policy Server Installation

Use the following files to troubleshoot the Policy Server installation:

• CA_SiteMinder_Policy_Server_release_InstallLog.log

  The installation log contains a summary section that lists the number of successes, warnings, non–fatal errors, and errors that occurred during the installation. Individual installation actions are listed with the respective status.

  release

  Specifies the Policy Server release.

  Location: siteminder_home\siteminder\install_config_info

• ca-ps-details.log

  The policy store log details the policy store status.

  Location: siteminder_home\siteminder\install_config_info

• smps.log

  The smps.log is created when you start the Policy Server. This log contains the following line if the Policy Server installed successfully:

  [Info] Journaling thread started, will delete commands older than 60 minutes.
  

  Location: siteminder_home\siteminder\log

  siteminder_home

  Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

Restart the SNMP Daemon

You only have to restart the SNMP daemon if you configured SNMP during the Policy Server installation.

To restart the SNMP daemon

1. Enter S76snmpdx stop in /etc/rc3.d.

   The SNMP daemon stops.

2. Enter S76snmpdx start in /etc/rc3.d.

   The SNMP daemon starts.

Configure a Policy Store

If you did not use the Policy Server installer to configure a policy store automatically, manually configure a supported LDAP directory server or relational database as a policy store.
