Run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard

The Policy Server Configuration Wizard (nete-ps-config.exe) lets you configure the following:

• The OneView Monitor GUI
• The Policy Server User Interface
• The netegrity_docs virtual directory on a web server
• SNMP support
• A policy store

When configuring a policy store on Windows, the wizard can automatically configure Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition (formerly Sun ONE/iPlanet), ADAM, or AD LDS as a policy store. If another supported LDAP directory server or relational database is to function as the policy store, you configure the policy store manually.

If you install the documentation after installing the Policy Server, run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create the netegrity_docs virtual directory on the web server. This virtual directory lets you view the documentation using the Policy Server User Interface.

To run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard

1. Close all programs.
2. Navigate to siteminder_home\install_config_info.

   siteminder_home

   Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

3. Double–click nete-ps-config.exe.

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

   The wizard verifies the following prerequisites:

   • You are logged into an account with local administrator privileges.
   • You have the appropriate Policy Server environment variables set.
4. In the Choose Features dialog, select the Policy Server features you want to configure. The OneView Monitor GUI, Web Server(s), and Policy Store are selected by default:

   OneView Monitor GUI

   The install program configures the OneView Monitor GUI to work on the web server you selected before completing this procedure.

   Note: To use the OneView Monitor, you must have the required Java SDK and ServletExec ISAPI for Windows/IIS installed. For the required versions, see the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site.

   Web Server(s)

   The install program configures the Policy Server User Interface and the OneView Monitor (if you specified it previously) to work on this web server.

   SNMP

   The install program configures SNMP to work with the Policy Server.

   Note: Be sure that you have an SNMP Service (Master OS Agent) installed with your Windows operating system. For more information about installing the SNMP service, see the Windows online help system.

   Policy Store

   The install program configures an LDAP directory server as a policy store.

5. In the Web Server dialog, select the web server to configure for the Policy Server and click Next.

   Note: Consider the following:

   • Be sure that the web server instance is stopped.
   • If you have multiple web servers, only select one. We recommend configuring one web server at a time. Use the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to configure additional web servers after installing the Policy Server.
   • If you are installing the Policy Server before the documentation, you are prompted to run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create the netegrity_docs virtual directory on the web server. This virtual directory lets you view the documentation using the Policy Server User Interface.
   • If you plan on configuring the Policy Server User Interface on multiple web servers, the URL of the Policy Server User Interface shortcut is configured to the port number of the first web server you configure. For example, if the first web server in the list is IIS at port 80 and the second is Sun ONE at port 81, the Policy Server User Interface shortcut is configured for port 80. If you want to run the Policy Server User Interface on the second web server, edit the URL in the shortcut or the Policy Server User Interface does not appear.
6. In the first Policy Store dialog, select whether you want to configure a new policy store or update an existing one.
7. (Optional) In the next Policy Store dialog, click Next to configure ADAM, AD LDS, or Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition (formerly Sun ONE/iPlanet) as a policy store.
