Gather Directory Server Information
Configuring a CA Directory as a policy store requires specific directory server information.
Note: Policy and data store worksheets are provided to help you gather and record information before configuring or upgrading a SiteMinder data store. You can print the applicable worksheet and use it to record required information before beginning.
Gather the following information before configuring the policy store. You can use the Policy Store Worksheets to record your values.
- Host information—Determine the fully qualified host name or the IP address of the system on which CA Directory is running.
- DSA port number—Determine the port on which the DSA is to listen.
- Base DN—Determine the distinguished name of the node in the LDAP tree in which policy store objects are to be defined.
- Administrative DN—Determine the LDAP user name of the user with the privileges to create, read, modify, and delete objects in the DSA.
