Advanced Password Services (APS) Guide › Install and Configure APS › Preparation & Prerequisites

Preparation & Prerequisites

Before you install Advanced Password Services, install and configure the following CA SiteMinder components:

• A Policy Server.
• A web agent or the Secure Proxy Server. Either component must be installed in front of the web server on which the APS client executables reside.

  Note: For more information about which component versions APS supports, see the Advanced Password Services Support Matrix.

Although a version of the SmTransact library is part of SiteMinder itself, APS requires a later version of this package. This version is included and installed with the APS installation kit.

The service name for the SmPortal.cfg file is smaps (case is significant).

See the chapter entitled SmPortal/SmTransact Installation and Configuration for information about how to configure and troubleshoot these modules.

See the chapter entitled Internationalization & Localization (APSXLate) for information about how to install, configure, and troubleshoot the APSXLate module.

See the instructions on how to configure the APS Mail module.
