Configure the SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver

You configure the wire protocol driver to specify the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database.

Note: This procedure only applies if the Policy Server is installed on a UNIX system. If you have not already done so, copy and rename oraclewire.ini to system_odbc.ini, which is located in <policy_server_installation>/db.

The system_odbc.ini file contains the following sections. The sections you edit are determined by the data source you are configuring:

• [SiteMinder Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the policy store.

• [SiteMinder Tokens Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the token store.

• [SiteMinder Logs Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the audit log database.

• [SiteMinder Keys Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the key store.

• [SiteMinder Session Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the session store.

• [SmSampleUsers Data Source]

  Specifies the settings SiteMinder should use to connect to the database functioning as the sample user data store.

To configure the wire protocol driver

1. Open the system_odbc.ini file.
2. Enter the following under [ODBC Data Sources]:

   SiteMinder Data Source=DataDirect 5.3 SQL Server Wire Protocol.
   

3. Depending on the data source you are configuring, edit the one or more of the data source sections with the following information:

   Driver=nete_ps_root/odbc/lib/NSmass23.so
   Description=DataDirect 5.3 SQL Server Wire Protocol
   Database=SiteMinder Data
   Address=myhost, 1433
   QuotedId=No
   AnsiNPW=No
   

   Note: When editing data source information, do not use the pound sign (#). Entering a pound sign comments the information, which truncates the value. The truncated value may cause ODBC connections to fail.

   • nete_ps_root

     Specifies an explicit path, rather than one with an environment variable.

     Example: export/smuser/siteminder

   • SiteMinder Data

     Specifies the SQL Server database instance name.

   • myhost

     Specifies the IP Address of the SQL Server database.

   • 1433

     Represents the default listening port for SQL Server.

4. Save the file.

   The wire protocol driver is configured.
