CA SiteMinder® implementations are highly dependent on the environments in which you deploy them. We recommend that you develop a plan that breaks your implementation into steps that make sense for your enterprise. As you plan the deployment, there are many questions for consideration.
The answers to these questions are critical to planning your CA SiteMinder® implementation.
