Configuring the Policy Server for the Event Handler

You can add additional event handler libraries to the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server.

Note: If you do not have write access to the CA SiteMinder® binary files (XPS.dll, libXPS.so, libXPS.sl), an Administrator must grant you permission to use the related XPS command line tools using the Administrative UI or the XPSSecurity tool.

To add event handler libraries

1. Open a command line on the Policy Server, and enter the following command:

   xpsconfig
   

   The tool starts and displays the name of the log file for this session, and a menu of choices opens.

2. Enter the following:

   xps
   

   A list of options appears.

3. Enter the following:

   5 (AuditSMHandlers)
   

   The settings for the event handler libraries appear.

4. Type C, and then enter the path and file name of the event handler library you want to add. Separate multiple library locations with commas.

   The settings for the event handler libraries appear. The value you added is shown at the bottom of the settings as a "pending value."

5. Do the following:
   1. Enter Q twice.
   2. Enter L.
   3. Enter Q to end your XPS session.

   Your changes are saved and the command prompt appears.
