6.x Policy Servers and 5.x Audit Log Databases

If a 6.x Policy Server is running in mixed–mode and using a 5.x policy store, it cannot write data to a 5.5 SiteMinder audit log database. To configure audit logging, configure the 6.x Policy Server to use a separate 6.x audit log database.

Consider the following:

• If SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 supports the version of Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) or Oracle that is functioning as the 5.5 audit log database, upgrade the audit log database to r6.0 SP6.
• If SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 does not support the version of SQL Server Oracle that is functioning as the 5.5 audit log database, configure a new r6.0 SP6 audit log database.

Note: For more information about supported databases, go to the Technical Support site and search for the SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix for 6.0. For more information about configuring an r6.0 SP6 audit log database, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.
