Oracle RDBMS Information

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

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

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

• Database service name—Identify the service 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 of 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.

Run the Configuration Wizard

To run the configuration wizard

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Navigate to siteminder_home\siteminder\install_config_info and double-click ca-ps-config.exe.

   The Policy Server configuration wizard starts.

   siteminder_home

   Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with administrator permissions. Use these permissions even if you are logged in to the system as an administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

3. Use the system and component information you have gathered to configure a policy store and individual components.

   Note: When prompted to initialize the LDAP instance do so only to configure a new policy store instance.

4. Review the installation settings and click Install.

   The wizard configures the selected components to work with the Policy Server.

   Note: This can take several minutes.

5. Click Done and reboot the system.

   The components you selected are configured.

Note: If you experience problems, you can locate the Policy Server installation log file and the policy store details file in siteminder_home\siteminder\install_config_info.

siteminder_home

Specifies the Policy Server installation path.
