The following illustration shows the relationship between the CA SiteMinder components and the SharePoint server.
In the previous illustration, customers, partners, and employees request resources from SharePoint. The requests must pass through the CA SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint. The agent provides authentication, policy enforcement, and federated single sign-on capabilities. The CA SiteMinder Policy Server acts as the policy decision point for authentication. The CA SiteMinder Policy Store which is connected to the Policy Server stores policies and other configuration objects. This solution enables external users to access protected SharePoint resources and internal users to access SharePoint resources.
