Microsoft ADAM/AD LDS as a Key Store

You can configure Microsoft ADAM/AD LDS as a separate key store.

How to Configure the Key Store

Complete the following tasks to create the key store:

1. Create a directory server instance that is to function as the key store. Be sure to create a root suffix and root object to store the SiteMinder keys.

   Note: For more information, see your vendor–specific documentation.

2. Create an LDAP user with privileges to create the schema, and read, modify, and delete objects in the LDAP tree underneath the key store root object.

   Note: For more information, see your vendor–specific documentation.

3. Be sure that the directory server meets the key store prerequisites.
4. Register the key store.
5. Create the key store schema.
6. Import the key store schema.
7. Restart the Policy Server.
