Create and Manage System Objects

When you initialize a connection to the Policy Server, you create a session object (PolicyMgtSession). You use the session object to create, retrieve, and delete the system-level objects that are listed in the System tab of the SiteMinder Administration window.

System objects (also called global objects) have global scope—that is, they are visible across all domains in the policy store. The system objects you can create from session objects include:

• Administrators
• Agents and agent types
• Authentication schemes
• Authentication and authorization maps
• Domains
• ODBC query schemes
• Password policies
• Registration schemes
• User directories
