SiteMinder and CA SSO Integration Architectural Examples

The following are three examples of single sign-on between SiteMinder and CA SSO environments:

1. A user authenticates to SiteMinder using a Web browser and then accesses an CA SSO-protected resource (see Example 1: User Accesses SiteMinder-Protected Resource Before CA SSO).
2. A user authenticates to CA SSO through a desktop CA SSO Client and then accesses a SiteMinder-protected resource using a Web browser (see Example 2: Authenticated CA SSO Client User Accesses SiteMinder Resource).
3. A user authenticates to CA SSO using a Web browser and then accesses a SiteMinder-protected resources (see Example 3: User Accesses CA WAC-Protected Resource Before SiteMinder).

Note: In these examples, the SiteMinder and CA SSO Policy Servers authorization access steps to protected resources are omitted for clarity.
