Use the Command Line Interface

The Policy Server includes a command that can be executed at the command line to publish information. The command is located in the installation_dir/siteminder/bin directory.

To publish information, use smpolicysrv command, followed by the -publish switch. For example:

smpolicysrv -publish <optional file_name>

Note: On Windows systems, do not run the smpolicysrv command from a remote desktop or Terminal Services window. The smpolicysrv command depends on inter-process communications that do not work if you run the smpolicysrv process from a remote desktop or Terminal Services window.

Important! If you are running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, be sure to open the command–line window with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.
