Test Event Routing for SiteMinder Web Access Manager

To test event routing (and verify that the iRecorder is installed properly and sending events to eTrust Audit), follow these steps:

1. Install eTrust Audit iRouter component on a host where eTrust Audit Client components are installed.
2. Install the iRecorder component on the Windows host.
3. Verify that <Program Files>\CA\SharedComponents\iTechnology folder contains the following files:

   SmRecorder.dll
   SmRecorder.conf
   

4. Install eTrust Audit iRouter component on a host where eTrust Audit Client components are installed.
5. Start the eTrust Audit Policy Manager and define a policy for SiteMinder Web Access Manager events received by the host where iRouter and the other eTrust Audit Client components are installed.
6. Create a test policy with a rule that sends all events to the eTrust Audit Security Monitor (no filter with Action set to Security Monitor).

   If there is no defined policy (rule and action), eTrust Audit ignores the events. For more information about how to create a policy, see eTrust Audit Management Guide.

7. Make sure the SiteMinder Web Access Manager Policy Server is running and log in as an administrator to the SiteMinder administration console.
8. Verify that events are generated on the eTrust Audit Security Monitor.

iRecorders also support standard iTechnology SDK tools (like TestHarness and Spin interface) to query the iRecorder for current status and configuration information. For more details about these tools, see the iTechnology SDK Reference Guide.
