Field	Description
iStructId	User directory data structure ID, defined in Sm_PolicyApi_Structs_t.
pszOid	The object identifier of the user directory object.
pszName	Name of the user directory.
pszDesc	Brief description of the user directory.
pszNamespace	Mandatory field that designates the specific directory service being connected to (for example, LDAP:, ODBC:, WinNT:, AD:, or Custom:).
pszServer	Mandatory field. This is an overloaded field whose contents depend upon the namespace: ODBC - Data source name. NT - Domain name. LDAP or AD - An IP address or an IP address and port number in the format IP_address:port_number. The port number 389 is assumed if no port number is specified. Custom - Library name.
pszSearchRoot	One of the following values: With LDAP directories, the location in the LDAP tree that serves as the starting point for the directory connection-typically, an organization (o) or organizational unit (ou). The Policy Server begins searching at the root when locating a user. With custom directories, any parameters to pass to the custom library.
pszUserLookupStart	The User DN Lookup Start allows users to authenticate by entering only a part of the user name, without having to enter an entire DN string. Identifying unique and non-unique segments of the user DN string does this. Use this field with LDAP directories only.
pszUserLookupEnd	The User DN Lookup End allows users to authenticate by entering only a part of the user name, without having to enter an entire whole DN string. Use this field with LDAP directories only.
pszUsername	The user name needed to access a user directory.
pszPassword	The password needed to access a user directory.
nSearchResults	The maximum number of records that can be returned from a search of an LDAP or custom directory.
nSearchScope	The extent to which SiteMinder looks for users and user groups below pszSearchRoot in an LDAP directory - all levels below the root (subtree) or just one level below the root. Specify 1 for one level down or 2 for subtree.
nSearchTimeout	The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that SiteMinder will query an LDAP or custom directory.
bSecureConnection	This flag must be enabled when accessing an LDAP or custom directory over SSL. Enabling Secure Connect means that SiteMinder performs secure authentication and encrypted transmissions.
bRequireCredentials	Flag to specify credentials necessary to authenticate against a user directory
pszDisabledAttr	Name of the user directory attribute that SiteMinder uses to keep track of a user's enabled or disabled state. Applies to LDAP and ODBC directories, and possibly to custom directories.
pszUniversalIDAttr	Name of the user directory attribute that has been designated as the Universal ID. Typically, the Universal ID differs from the user's login ID, and the Universal ID is used to look up user information. Applies to LDAP, ODBC, and WinNT directories, and possibly to custom directories.
pszODBCQuerySchemeOid	The object identifier for a set of ODBC queries that SiteMinder uses to query the ODBC directory.
pszAnonymousId	Name of the user directory attribute that is designated as the anonymous user DN. This DN is defined in the anonymous authentication scheme. Anonymous users impersonate this DN to gain access to the resources associated with the anonymous authentication scheme. Applies to LDAP directories, and possibly to custom directories.
pszPasswordData	Name of the user directory attribute that SiteMinder uses to store password policy information. Applies to LDAP and ODBC directories, and possibly to custom directories.
pszPasswordAttribute	Name of the user directory attribute that contains the user's password, as defined using Password Services. Applies to LDAP and ODBC directories, and possibly to custom directories.
pszEmailAddressAttr	Reserved for future use.
pszChallengeRespAttr	Name of the user directory attribute that contains a response to return to the user, such as a hint for a forgotten password. Applies to LDAP directories, and possibly to custom directories.
next	Pointer to the next directory structure.

Remarks

Fields apply to all types of directories (LDAP, ODBC, WinNT, and custom) unless individual directory types are specified.

Fields that apply to LDAP directories also apply to Active Directories.
