Create a group to manage the CA SiteMinder® SPS servers that are configured to a Policy Server.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Administration, Group Configuration.
  2. Click Add.

    The Add/Update Group Details page appears.

  3. Perform the following steps:
    1. Type a name for the group.
    2. Type any description for the new group.
    3. Click Next.

    The Manage Proxy Servers page appears. By default, the current proxy server is selected in the Selected List. The proxy server instances that are created in the XPS store are displayed in the Available List.

  4. Perform the following steps:
    1. Select the proxy servers that you want to group.

      Note: The current proxy server must be in the Selected List.

    2. Click Next.

    The Manage Configurations page appears. The list of configurations that can be centrally managed are displayed in the Available List.

  5. Move the configurations you want to centrally manage in the group from Available List to Selected List.

  7. Confirm the changes and click Finish.

    The group is created. The current group name is displayed on the Group Configuration page. On the pages of the configurations you have selected to centrally manage, the CA SiteMinder® SPS displays that those configurations are part of the group. A CA SiteMinder® SPS server can be part of only one group. If a new group tries to include a CA SiteMinder® SPS server that is already part of a group, the CA SiteMinder® SPS server moves into the new group.
