Create the Policy Store Schema

You create the policy store schema so the directory server can function as a policy store and store SiteMinder objects.

To create the Policy Store schema

  1. Copy the following files into the CA Directory DXHOME\config\schema directory:

    Note: The netegrity.dxc file is installed with the Policy Server in policy_server_home\eTrust. The etrust.dxc file is installed with the Policy Server in siteminder_home\xps\db.

  2. Copy the following files into the CA Directory DXHOME\bin directory.

    Note: The etrust_schema.txt file is installed with the Policy Server in policy_server_home\xps\db. The schema.txt file is installed with the Policy Server in siteminder_home\eTrust.

  3. Create a new SiteMinder schema file by copying the default.dxg schema file and renaming it.

    Note: The default.dxg schema file is located in DXHOME\config\schema\default.dxg.

    Example: copy the default.dxg schema file and rename the copy to smdsa.dxg

  4. Add the following lines to the bottom of the new SiteMinder schema file:
    #CA Schema
    
    source "netegrity.dxc";
    
    source "etrust.dxc";
    
  5. Edit the DSA's DXI file (DSA_Name.dxi) by changing the schema from default.dxg to the new SiteMinder schema file.

    Note: the DSA's DXI file is located in DXHOME\config\servers.

  6. Add the following lines to the end of the DSA's DXI file:

    Note: The max-cache-size entry is the total cache size in MB. Adjust this value based on the total memory available on the CA Directory server and overall size of the policy store.

  7. Open the DSA's default DXC file (default.dxc).

    Note: The default DXC file is located in DXHOME\dxserver\config\limits.

  8. Edit the settings to match the following:

    Note: Editing the size limits settings prevents cache size errors from appearing in your CA Directory log files.

  9. Save the DXC file.
  10. As the DSA user, stop and restart the DSA using the following commands:
    dxserver stop DSA_Name
    dxserver start DSA_Name
    

    The policy store schema is created.
