There are two graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which configure specific SiteMinder policy objects, as follows:
Use the Administrative UI to view, modify, and delete all Policy Server objects, except objects related to Federation Security Services. All federation-related configuration tasks can be managed using the FSS Administrative UI.
The intent of the FSS Administrative UI is to let you manage SiteMinder Federation Security Services. If you are familiar with previous versions of the SiteMinder Policy Server User Interface, you will notice that all SiteMinder objects appear in the FSS Administrative UI. The only objects that do not appear are objects related to Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) and reports. You can use the FSS Administrative UI to manage the SiteMinder objects. If you need information while using the FSS Administrative UI, consult the FSS Administrative UI online help system.
Note: Although installed with the Policy Server, the FSS Administrative UI must be registered with the Policy Server before it can be used. Registering the FSS Administrative UI requires the use of the Administrative UI. Therefore, install and configure the Administrative UI before registering the FSS Administrative UI. If your organization is not federating with a partner, you can safely leave the Federation Security Services on the Policy Server host system without registering it.
