Modify a User Directory Connection for your SharePoint User Directories in the SiteMinder Policy Server (r12.0 SP2)

The SiteMinder Policy Server communicates with your existing user directories to authenticate users. Each user directory needs a connection in the SiteMinder Administrative UI. This section describes how to modify an existing user directory connection for use with the Agent for SharePoint, but you can also create one if you want. For more information about creating a user directory connection, see the Policy Server Configuration Guide.
