SQL Server Information

If you are configuring SQL Server to function as a policy store, use the SQL Server worksheet to gather the following required information:

• Database server name—Identify the IP address or name of the database host system.

  Note: For more information about IPv6 support, see the SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix.

• Database name—Identify the named instance or the name of the database that is to function as the policy store.
• Database port—Identify the port on which the database is listening.
• Database administrator user name—Identify the name of an administrator account with permission to
  • Create schema
  • Create, read, modify, and delete objects.
• Database administrator password—Identify the password for the administrator account.
• 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.
