Configure a Nested Realm

Administrators who have privileges to Manage Domain Objects can create a nested realm within a parent realm, as long as the parent realm is associated with a domain within the administrator's scope.

Note: You can only create nested realms under a realm that is protected by SiteMinder Web Agents.

To create a nested realm

1. Click Policies, Domains.
2. Click Realm, Modify Realm.

   The Modify Realm pane opens.

3. Specify search criteria, and click Search.

   A list of realms that match the search criteria opens.

4. Select a realm, and click Select.

   The Modify Realm: Name pane opens.

5. In the Sub-Realms group box, click Create Sub-Realm.

   The Create Realm pane opens.

6. Verify that Create a new object is selected, and click OK.

   The Create Realm: Name pane opens.

7. Type the name and a description of the realm in the fields on the General group box.
8. Type the path of the resource filter in the Resource Filter field on the Resource group box.

   Note: The resource filter of the nested realm is added to the resource filter of the parent realm. For example, if the parent realm's filter is /marketing, and the nested realm's filter is /data, the entire filter is: <agent_of_the_parent_realm>/marketing/data.

   Note: Asterisk (*) and question mark (?) characters are treated as literal characters in resource filters, not wildcards.

9. Specify session properties on the Session group box.
10. In the Advanced group box, specify the following settings:
    • Authorization directory mapping
    • Events processing
11. Click Submit.

    The Create Realm task is submitted for processing.
