Access the Policy Server User Interface

Once you have installed the Policy Server and configured a policy store, access the Policy Server 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. On the Status tab of the Policy Server Management Console, be sure that the Policy Server is running.
2. Open a web browser and enter http://host_name.domain:web_server_port
   /siteminder.

   host_name

   Specifies the name of the Policy Server host system.

   domain

   Specifies the cookie domain of the Policy Server host system.

   web_server_port

   Specifies the port on which the web server is listening.

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

   The Policy Server User Interface login screen appears.

3. Click Administer SiteMinder.
4. Enter SiteMinder as the user name and enter the password you specified when configuring the policy store.

   The Policy Server User Interface opens.

5. If you have trouble logging into the Policy Server User Interface, reset the SiteMinder super user password by completing the following steps:
   1. Copy the smreg utility (smreg.exe) from the Policy Server installation kit to siteminder_home/bin.
   2. Execute the following command:

      smreg -su super_user_password
      

      super_user_password

      Specifies the password for the SiteMinder super user account.

      Note: Be sure that there is a space between -su and the super user password.

   3. Delete smreg.

      Deleting smreg prevents anyone from changing the super user password.
