Create or Reuse an Authentication Scheme for your SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint (r6.x SP6)

The SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint supports the Authentication Schemes used by CA Technologies SiteMinder. The SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint needs an Authentication Scheme defined in the Policy Server User Interface. This section describes how to create an authentication scheme, but if you are an experienced SiteMinder user, you can reuse an existing authentication scheme instead.

To create an authentication scheme for your SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint

1. From the menu bar of the SiteMinder Administration window, select Edit, System Configuration, Create Authentication Scheme.

   The SiteMinder Authentication Scheme Dialog opens.

2. Enter a distinctive name, and (optional) description.
3. Click the Authentication Scheme Type drop-down list, and then select the type of Authentication Scheme that you want.

   The options for your chosen Authentication Scheme appear.

4. Complete the fields for your Authentication Scheme.

   Note: For more information, see the SiteMinder Policy Server Configuration Guide.

5. Click OK.

   The Authentication Scheme is created.
