Configure an International SiteMinder Data Store in Oracle

To configure an international SiteMinder data store in Oracle

1. On the machine where Oracle is installed, create a custom Oracle database that supports UTF-8 character encoding.

   Note: For more information and instructions, see Oracle's documentation.

   To verify if an existing Oracle database supports UTF-8 character encoding, run the following query:

   Select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'

2. Create policy, keys, session, or key stores for the Policy Server, by configuring a SiteMinder data store in the Oracle database.
