ODBC Directory Connection

You can configure a directory connection to an existing ODBC user store (SQL or Oracle) so CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone can use it for authentication.

Note: If you plan to connect to an ODBC data source on Solaris, configure the wire protocol driver for the data source. See the wire protocol driver instructions for details.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the User Directory tab.
  2. Click Connect to ODBC in the User Directory List section.
  3. Configure the settings in this dialog. Parameters marked by red dots are required.

    Note: Click Help for a description of fields, controls, and their respective requirements.

  4. Click Failover if you want to set up additional ODBC directories for redundancy.
  5. Click Test Connection to validate the connection.

    You can click View Contents to list the contents of the user directory.

    Note: The View Contents button is displayed only if the Universal ID Column value is set.

  6. Click Save.

    If your settings are valid, you are redirected to the View User Directories dialog.

    The connection to the ODBC directory is configured.
