Custom Classes for Authentication and Authorization

The basic steps for implementing and deploying custom authentication or authorization classes are as follows:

1. Implement the custom authentication or authorization class using the Authentication or Authorization API and the common classes.
2. Deploy the custom class or jar file on the Policy Server machine, and specify its location in the classpath directive of the JVMOptions.txt file. This file is located in Netegrity/siteminder/config within the SiteMinder installation path.
3. Configure the custom authentication or authorization functionality in the Policy Server User Interface.
