Group Configuration lets you perform a central configuration of multiple CA SiteMinder® SPS servers configured to a Policy Server at a time. If you group the CA SiteMinder® SPS servers configured to a Policy Server, you can manage the configuration of the CA SiteMinder® SPS servers using any CA SiteMinder® SPS server in the group.
Important! The Group Configuration feature is supported only with the Policy Server 12.51 or later versions.
When you create a group, the group configuration is saved in the XPS store and an alert is sent to the CA SiteMinder® SPS servers in the group. Then, the configuration of those CA SiteMinder® SPS servers is updated. The group inherits the configuration from the CA SiteMinder® SPS server that is used to configure the group.
The configuration changes made to a CA SiteMinder® SPS server affect the other CA SiteMinder® SPS servers in the group only if you alert the Policy Server using the Sync to Group option. If you do not send the Sync to Group alert, the configuration changes you perform are applicable only to the CA SiteMinder® SPS server you have updated.
If a CA SiteMinder® SPS server is not updated due to any local policies or restrictions, you can use the Restore from Group option to apply the latest configuration changes of a group on the CA SiteMinder® SPS server.

When you click the Sync to Group option, the CA SiteMinder® SPS performs the following tasks:
