Extend the CA Directory Policy Store Schema

You extend the policy store schema to store objects introduced by r12.0 SP2. The existing r6.x policy store schema has not changed.

To extend the CA Directory policy store schema

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

   etrust.dxc

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

   • policy_server_home

     Specifies the policy server installation path.

2. Copy the following files into the CA Directory DXHOME\bin directory.
   • etrust_schema.txt
   • schema.txt

   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 policy_server_home\eTrust.

   • policy_server_home

     Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

3. Open the SiteMinder schema file (.dxg), and add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

   #CA Schema
   source "netegrity.dxc"
   source "etrust.dxc"
   

4. Edit the DXI file for the DSA by adding the following lines to the bottom of the file:

   # cache configuration
   set max-cache-size = 100;
   set cache-index = all-attributes;
   set cache-attrs = all-attributes;
   set cache-load-all = true;
   set lookup-cache = true;
   

   set ignore-name-bindings=true;
   

   Note: The DXI file is located in DXHOME\config\servers. 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.

5. Open the default DXC file (default.dxc) for the DSA and locate the following:

   # size limits
   set max-users = 255;
   set credits = 5;
   set max-local-ops = 100;
   set max-dsp-ops = 100;
   set max-op-size = 200;
   set multi-write-queue = 20000;
   

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

6. Edit the settings to match the following and save the DXC file:

   # size limits
   set max-users = 1000;
   set credits = 5;
   set max-local-ops = 1000;
   set max-dsp-ops = 1000;
   set max-op-size = 1000;
   set multi-write-queue = 20000;
   

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

7. As the DSA user, stop and restart the DSA using the following commands:

   dxserver stop DSA_Name
   

   dxserver start DSA_Name
   

   • DSA_Name

     Specifies the name of the policy store DSA.

   The policy store schema is extended to store objects introduced by r12.0 SP2.
