Gather Directory Server Information

Configuring ADAM or AD LDS as a policy store requires specific directory server information. Gather the following information before configuring the policy store.

Note: Policy and data store worksheets are provided to help you gather and record information before configuring or upgrading a SiteMinder data store. You can print the applicable worksheet and can use it to record required information before beginning.

• Host information—Determine the fully qualified name or the IP address of the directory server host system.
• Port information—Determine if the directory server is listening on a non–standard port. If you do not provide port information, the SiteMinder utilities you use to configure the policy store default to port 389 (non-SSL) and 636 (SSL).
• Administrator DN—Determine the full domain name, including the guid value, of the directory server administrator.

  Example: CN=user1,CN=People,CN=Configuration,CN,{guid}

• Administrator password—Determine the password for the directory server administrator.
• Root DN of the application partition—Identify the root DN location of the application partition in the directory server where the policy store schema data must be installed.
• (Optional) SSL client certificate—If the directory connection is made over SSL, determine the path of the directory that contains the SSL client certificate database.
