Temporary Employee Accesses a Quality Assurance Realm Resource

In the SiteMinder protected network described in the previous figure, a temporary employee's authentication data resides in the Temporary Employee Authentication user directory, and the employee attempts to access a resource in the Sales Realm. The Sales Realm is not associated with its own authorization directory. SiteMinder authenticates the employee in the Temporary Employee Authentication directory, then checks to see if a directory mapping is set up. Since the Sales Realm does not have its own authorization directory, SiteMinder attempts to authorize the employee using information in the same directory where the employee was authenticated.
