The CA SiteMinder® policy store is the repository for all policy–related information. All Policy Servers in a CA SiteMinder® installation must share the policy store data, either directly or through replication. CA SiteMinder® is installed with tools that let administrators move policy store data from one storage facility to another.
When you install the Policy Server, you can automatically configure one of the following relational databases as a policy store:
If you do not use the Policy Server installer to configure a policy store automatically, you can manually configure a policy store after installing the Policy Server. Additionally, after you install the Policy Server, you can use the Policy Server Management Console to point the Policy Server to an existing policy store.
Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the CA SiteMinder® 12.52 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.
In addition to policy store support, you can use a relational database to store CA SiteMinder® keys, audit logs, and session data.
The following diagram illustrates a sample CA SiteMinder® installation and lists the order in which you install and configure each component.
The following figure depicts a single policy/key store instance. Although not illustrated, your environment can use separate instances for individual policy and key stores.
Consider the following before configuring a policy store:
Example: Use fec0::9255:20c:29ff:fe47:8089 instead of [fec0::9255:20c:29ff:fe47:8089]
Note: For more information about IPv6-supported databases, see the CA SiteMinder® 12.52 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.
When you configure a policy store, the following default policy store object files are available:
Consider the following items when choosing a file to:

CA SiteMinder® provides schema files for configuring the following CA SiteMinder® data stores:
Note: The CA SiteMinder® schema files are installed with the Policy Server. If the Policy Server is installed on a UNIX system, copy the schema files from siteminder_home/db/SQL directory to a temporary directory (C:\temp) on the Windows system to which the database is installed.
Specifies the Policy Server installation path.
The following SQL Server schema files are provided in the siteminder_home\db\tier2\DB2 directory.
Specifies the Policy Server installation path.
