Configuring SiteMinder Data Stores in a Relational Database

Relational Databases as a Policy or Key Store

The SiteMinder policy store is the repository for all policy–related information. All Policy Servers in a SiteMinder installation must share the policy store data, either directly or through replication. SiteMinder is installed with tools that let administrators move policy store data from one storage facility to another.

When you install the Policy Server, you can automatically configure one of the following relational databases as a policy store:

If you do not use the Policy Server installer to configure a policy store automatically, you can manually configure a policy store after installing the Policy Server. Additionally, after you install the Policy Server, you can use the Policy Server Management Console to point the Policy Server to an existing policy store.

Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the SiteMinder r12.0 SP3 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.

In addition to policy store support, you can use a relational database to store SiteMinder keys, audit logs, and session data.
