Enable User Store DSA Parameters

SiteMinder uses the Sun Java System LDAP SDK, which lets clients open one managed connection to the directory server and perform user binds under that connection. If you are using CA directory as a user store, the Policy Server connects to CA Directory by performing a bind request for each authentication request. Configure CA Directory to handle these requests, or CA Directory runs out of connections and authentication fails.

To enable user store DSA parameters

1. Open the .dxc file for the user store DSA.
2. Define the following at the bottom of the file:

   #SiteMinder
   set mimic-netscape-for-siteminder = true;
   set concurrent-bind-user = DN;
   set hold-ldap-connections = true;
   

3. Save and close the .dxc file.

   The user store DSA parameters are enabled.

   Note: The DN is in x500 format.

   Example: <o acme><cn smadmin>
