Modify a User Directory Connection for your SharePoint Directories in the SiteMinder Policy Server (r6.x SP6)

The SiteMinder Policy Server communicates with your existing user directories to authenticate users. Each user directory needs a connection in the SiteMinder Policy Server User Interface. 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 Design Guide.

To create entries for your SharePoint user directories in the SiteMinder Policy Server

1. From the menu bar of the SiteMinder Administration window, select Edit, System Configuration, Modify User Directory.

   The SiteMinder User Directory Dialog opens.

2. Click the Credentials and Connections tab, and then verify the following settings:
   1. Select the Require Credentials check box and then complete the following fields:

   Note: Consult the administrator of your directory server for more information about the proper settings to use in your environment.

3. Verify that the following check box is clear:

4. Click OK

   The User Directory is modified.
