Policy Store Considerations

Consider the following before running the Policy Server installer or the Policy Server Configuration wizard:

• The Policy Server installer and the Policy Server Configuration wizard can automatically configure one of the following directory servers as a policy store:
  • Microsoft Active Directory in Application Mode (ADAM)
  • Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

    Note: Be sure that you have met the prerequisites for configuring ADAM or AD LDS as a policy store.

  • Sun Java Directory System Server (formerly Sun ONE/iPlanet)

  Important! The Policy Server installer and the Policy Server Configuration wizard cannot automatically configure a policy store that is being connected to using an SSL connection.

• You manually configure any other supported directory server or relational database as a policy store after installing the Policy Server. Configuring a policy store manually is detailed in this guide.
