Bind Policies to Users with the Manual Entry Field

There are two ways to bind individual users to a policy. The first is by using the Manual Entry field in the SiteMinder Policy Users/Groups dialog. The second is by using the Search feature in the SiteMinder Policy Users/Groups dialog.

To bind users to a policy with the Manual Entry Field

1. From the Users tab on the SiteMinder Policy dialog, locate the group box with the user directory that you want to search, and then click Add Entry.

   The User Directory Search Expression Editor opens.

2. Click the Where to Search drop-down list, and then select Search Users.
3. In the Manual Entry field, specify a user DN.

   For example: uid=JSmith, ou=people, o=myorg.org

   Note: This user DN must match exactly the user's distinguished name. This feature will not match a subset of information contained in the user's DN.

4. Click OK.

   The User Directory Search Expression Editor closes and the user DN you entered appears in the group box of the directory.

5. Click Submit to save your changes.
