Create the SiteMinder Schema

You create the SiteMinder schema so a single Oracle database can store policy, key, token, session, and audit logging information.

To create the SiteMinder Schema

1. Log into Oracle with sqlplus or some other Oracle utility as the user who administers the Policy Server database information.

   Note: We recommend that you do not create SiteMinder schema with the SYS or SYSTEM users. If necessary, create an Oracle user, such as SMOWNER, and create the schema with that user.

2. Import the following script:

   $NETE_PS_ROOT/db/sql/sm_oracle_ps.sql

   Note: Environment variables may not function in Oracle's SQL utility. If you experience problems importing the script using the utility, specify an explicit path.

   The policy store and key store schema is added to the database.

3. Import the following script

   $NETE_PS_ROOT/xps/Oracle.sql

   The policy store schema is extended.

4. Import the following scripts to use the policy store as a logging database, token store, and/or session store.

   The respective schema files are:

   • sm_oracle_logs.sql
   • sm_oracle_token.sql
   • sm_oracle_ss.sql

   The respective SiteMinder schema is created in the database.

   Note: You are not required to configure the policy store to store additional SiteMinder data. You can configure individual databases to function as one or more separate logging databases, key stores, token stores, and session stores.

   The database can store SiteMinder data.
