Trial Version of Policy Server Supports Only FIPS-compatibility and FIPS-migration Mode (64416)

Problem:

A trial version of the SiteMinder Policy Server can operate in FIPS-compatibility and FIPS-migration modes. Setting the Policy Server to operate in FIPS-only mode results in the Policy Server rejecting the trial license because the license was encrypted using algorithms that are not FIPS compliant.

Solution:

Ensure that the SiteMinder Policy Servers you want to migrate to FIPS-only mode are using a valid SiteMinder license and not a trial license.

Reports and SiteMinder Performance

Under certain circumstances, running analysis and audit-based reports may slow SiteMinder performance. We recommend analyzing the load patterns in your environment to determine the best time to run reports.

IPv6 ODBC Data Sources

Do not use brackets around the IP address when using IPv6 ODBC data sources or the connection fails.

Example: use fec0::9255:20c:29ff:fe47:8089 instead of [fec0::9255:20c:29ff:fe47:8089]

Note: More information on IPv6-supported databases exists in the SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix.

Searching CertSerialNumbers in a Custom Certificate Mapping Fails (59352)

Symptom:

(LDAP) The default Policy Server behavior is to treat a CertSerialNumber as a broken string of numbers. This behavior causes a custom certificate mapping to fail if the user directory stores the CertSerialNumber as an unbroken string of numbers. The Policy Server fails to lookup the user because the default LDAP search contains spaces.

Solution:

Enable the NoSpacesinCertNumbers registry setting. Enabling the registry setting causes the Policy Server to treat certificate serial numbers as an unbroken string of numbers for all serial number comparisons.
