Configuring the Policy Server for the Event Handler

When you have built a custom event handler, you must configure the Policy Server to use the handler.

To configure the Policy Server to use the event handler:

1. Start the Policy Server Management Console.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Event Handler(s) field, enter the name of the event handler(s). For example:
   • On Windows platforms, you could enter SmEventHandler.dll.
   • On a UNIX platform, you could enter libsmeventhandler.so.

   Install your event handler in one of the following locations:

   • On UNIX platforms, in the SiteMinder lib directory
   • On Windows platforms, in the SiteMinder bin directory

   Enter multiple event handler names as a comma-separated list. The Policy Server calls event handlers in the order in which they are specified.

4. Go to the Status tab and restart the SiteMinder services to enable the change to the Policy Server configuration.
