STAR Issue # 21015808:01

Performance Issues Using SQL Query Schemes on Non-Unicode Databases (144327)

Symptom:

Performance is impacted when using a SQL query scheme to find user data in a non-Unicode database. The performance degradation is because default Policy Server behavior is to append an "N" to the SQL query to enable Unicode searching.

Solution:

This is no longer an issue. To prevent performance degradation when using an SQL query scheme to find user data in a non-Unicode database, use the following procedure to disable Unicode searching:

1. Create the following registry setting:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Database\DisableMSSQLUnicodeSearch 
   

2. Set the value of the setting to 1.

   Unicode searching is disabled.
