Report Descriptions

SiteMinder reports are organized into two groups:

• Audit reports
• Analysis reports

Audit reports are created from existing audit capabilities of the Policy Server. The Policy Server must be configured to write to a database.

Analysis reports are based on run-time policy evaluation, for example, evaluating which users can perform what tasks.

You can generate the following reports using the SiteMinder Administrative UI:
