Generate the Compliance Reports

The CA SiteMinder® compliance reports for CA Security Compliance Manager are generated with a command line tool. After the reports are generated, you must send them to the CA Security Compliance Manager administrator in your organization so they can be imported into CA Security Compliance Manager.

To generate the compliance reports

1. Open a command line window on the machine which hosts the Policy Server.
2. Run the smcompliance command with any of the following options:

   -dir directory_name

   Specifies the full path to an output directory where the generated reports will be saved. If this directory already exists, the tool renames the existing directory as a backup.

   Default: siteminder_home/compliance/output

   -conf configuration_file

   Specifies the full path to the configuration file that determines the content and format of the reports. The default configuration file has the content for CA Security Compliance Manager, but you can customize a configuration file to meet your needs.

   Default: siteminder_home/compliance/config

   -log log_file

   Specifies the full path to a log file.

   Default: siteminder_home/compliance/output

   -format format_type

   Specifies one of the following file types for the reports:

   • CSV (comma-separated value) file.
   • XML file

   Default: csv

   The reports and log file are generated. The files are ready to send to the CA Security Compliance Manager administrator.
