Edit the Sign-In URL for the Affilliate Domain using the Sharepoint Connection Wizard

You can update the affiliate domain with a new sign-in URL for your CA SiteMinder trusted identity provider. This update requires running the SharePoint connection wizard on the computer hosting your CA SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint.

This procedure adds the new sign-in URL of your CA SiteMinder trusted identity provider on your CA SiteMinder Policy Server.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the following directory:

   Agent-for-SharePoint_home/sharepoint_connection_wizard
   

2. Do one of the following procedures:
   • For Windows operating environments, right-click the executable and then select Run as administrator.
   • For Solaris operating environments, enter the following command:

     Solaris: sh ./ca-spconnect-version-sol.bin
     

   • For Linux operating environments, enter the following command:

     Linux: sh ./ca-spconnect-version-rhel30.bin
     

   The wizard starts.

3. Click Next.

   The Login Details screen appears.

4. Complete the following fields with the information from your existing CA SiteMinder settings:

   Policy Server Name

   Specifies the Policy Server name or IP address.

   Username

   Specifies the Policy Server administrator username.

   Password

   Specifies the Policy Server administrator password.

   Agent Name

   Specifies the Agent-4x. The connection with the Policy Server is established using the details given in the Agent Name.

   Shared Secret Key

   Specifies the shared secret key that is associated with the Agent.

5. Click Next

   The Select Action screen appears.

6. Select Edit a SharePoint Connection option.
7. Click Next.

   The SharePoint Connection Properties screen appears.

8. Click Next until the SharePoint Connection Properties screen appears.
9. Locate the following field:

   Authentication URL

   Specifies the port number that is associated with the predefined protected URL which the SharePoint connection wizard adds automatically. When users try accessing a protected SharePoint resource without a SiteMinder session, they are redirected to the Authentication URL.

   If you are using a default port number (such as 80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS), delete the <port> setting from this field.

   Note: We recommend using HTTPS on production environments and pages which handle user credentials, such as login pages.

10. Change the protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS) or the port number.
11. Click Next.

    The attribute details are saved and the Commit Details screen appears.

12. Click Install in the Commit Details screen.

    The Save Complete screen appears.

13. Click Done.

    The partnership details are saved, the SharePoint Connection is modified, and the wizard closes.
