Configure the Connector Settings

For the Connector to interact with CA SiteMinder®, configure the Connector settings in the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone Administrative UI. All partnerships that use the Connector use a single configuration and connect to a single CA SiteMinder® environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Administrative UI.
2. Navigate to the Infrastructure tab.
3. Select Deployment Settings.

   The Configure Deployment Settings dialog opens.

4. Fill in all the fields in the CA SiteMinder® Connector Settings section. Note the following considerations:
   • To enable or disable the Connector for a given partnership, enable it at the partnership level.
   • To enable or disable the Connector globally, use the check box in the deployment settings.

   Important! If the Connector is disabled at the global level, CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone ignores the check box at the partnership level.

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

5. Select Register Host and provide the legacy administrator credentials for the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server. Only legacy administrators can perform host registration.

   This step registers CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone as an Agent with the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server.

   Note: You can configure failover support for the host registration process by specifying more than one Policy Server. If the registration with the primary Policy Server fails, the registration process tries with the next Policy Server specified until the registration process completes successfully.

6. Click Save.

   Important! Select Save specifically in the CA SiteMinder® Connector Settings section after registering the host.

7. Restart the federation services according to your operating environment.
