Defining a SiteMinder policy domain or an EPM application depends on identifying logical groups of resources, often an individual application, that are associated with one or more user populations. Grouping resources at this level helps you to identify the sets of individual resources (URLs) within an application that share the same security requirements.
Note: For more information about a SiteMinder policy domain or an EPM application, see the Policy Server Configuration Guide.
A strategy for determining these requirements is to review a site map of the organization.
For example, a fictitious company, has a corporate intranet that the following site map represents:
In this example, the corporate portal is separated into the following logical groups of resources:
The resource table for the corporate intranet looks like the following:
