Architectural Use Cases

The purpose of the following use cases is to get you thinking about your SiteMinder architecture in terms of high availability and performance. The use cases begin with a simple deployment and progress into more complex scenarios. Each case is based on the idea of a logical "block" of SiteMinder components and illustrates how an environment can contain multiple blocks to address the following architectural considerations:

Extrapolate the necessary infrastructure from these cases to:

Simple Deployment

The simplest SiteMinder deployment requires one "block" of components. A block of components is a logical combination of dependent components that include:

You protect web-based resources by deploying at least one block.

The following diagram illustrates a simple deployment:

Each component has a specific role with resource protection.

Note: For more information about the primary purpose of each component, see SiteMinder Components.
