Simple Deployment

The simplest SiteMinder deployment requires one "block" of components. A block of components is a logical combination of dependent components that include:

• A Web Agent
• A Policy Server
• A user store
• A policy store
• An Administrative UI

You protect web-based resources by deploying at least one block.

The following diagram illustrates a simple deployment:

Each component has a specific role with resource protection.

Note: For more information about the primary purpose of each component, see SiteMinder Components.
