Starting with Version 4.1, SiteMinder included Password Services (often referred to as Basic Password Services). The functionality included is essentially a subset (with a few extensions) of the Advanced Password Services Version 1.1 functionality.
In the process, CA modified SiteMinder so that Password Services can be enabled or disabled on a per-authentication scheme basis. This is done using a checkbox on the authentication scheme setup pages in the Policy Management interface. If this flag is turned off for a given authentication scheme, neither Password Services nor Advanced Password Services will be invoked. It is critical for Advanced Password Services operation that this flag be turned on for all authentication schemes (there are probably reasons that it might be turned off in special cases, but we haven't seen any yet).
Password Services and Advanced Password Services, as of this writing, are not compatible. You can use only one or the other, not both. In fact, at this time, there is no way to convert from one to the other (though such conversion could be written; contact CA Professional Services if this is required).
Because of this, when APS is used, all Password Services settings (except the authentication scheme setting above) must be disabled. If not, unpredictable results may occur.
