Sun Java System Directory Server Information

If you are configuring Sun Java^™ System Directory Server to function as a policy store, use the Sun Java System Directory Server worksheet to gather the following required information:

• System IP address—Determine the IP address of the Sun Java Systems host system.
• Directory instance port number—Determine the port number for the Sun Java System Directory Server instance.

  Default: 389

• Root DN—Identify the root DN of the Sun Java System Directory Server.

  Example: o=yourorg.com

• Administrator account—Identify the user name (Bind DN) for the LDAP administrator account.

  Example: cn=Directory Manager

• Administrator password—Identify the password for the Sun Java System Directory Server administrator.
• Alternate LDAP administrator—By default, SiteMinder uses the LDAP administrator account to communicate with the LDAP server. However, you can use a different LDAP user account to administer the policy store. Identify the complete administrator DN and password to configure SiteMinder in this way.

  Note: This user must have the necessary permissions to modify attributes and change passwords.

• SiteMinder Super User password—The default SiteMinder super user account (siteminder) has maximum permissions. Determine the password for the default super user account.

  Limits:

  • The password must contain at least six (6) characters and cannot exceed 24 characters.
  • The password cannot include an ampersand (&) or an asterisk (*).
  • If the password contains a space, enclose the passphrase with quotation marks.

  Note: We recommend that you do not use the default super user for day-to-day operations. Rather, use the default super user to access the FSS Administrative UI and Administrative UI for the first–time and then create an administrator with super user permissions.
