Access the Policy Server User Interface

Once you have installed the Policy Server and migrated your policy store, access the user interface through a browser. Verify that the browser supports SiteMinder by entering the following URL: http://www.netegrity.com/UItest

Note: The URL for the browser test is case-sensitive.

To access the Policy Server User Interface

  1. To make sure the upgraded version of the Policy Server User Interface appears, clear your Web browser’s cache.
  2. Start your browser and enter http://<hostname>.<domain>:<portnumber>/siteminder in the URL field.

    The <hostname> defines the name of the machine on which the Policy Server is installed, such as mymachine; <domain> defines the cookie domain of the host machine, such as .myorg.org; and <portnumber> defines the Web server’s port number. For example:

    http://mymachine.myorg.org:81/siteminder

    The system displays your browser with the administrator login page.

  3. Click Administer SiteMinder.
  4. Enter SiteMinder as the user name and enter the password you entered during the installation.

    The Policy Server User Interface opens.
