Configure a Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition as a Policy Store

To configure Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition as a policy store

1. In Policy Store dialog for the LDAP server:
   1. Enter the IP address of the LDAP directory host system.
   2. Enter the port on which the directory server instance is listening.
   3. Enter the root DN. Specify the root DN as the following:

      o=root_DN

      root_DN

      Specifies the root DN.

   4. Click Next.
2. In the next Policy Store dialog:
   1. Enter the user name (Bind DN) for the LDAP administrator account.

      Example: cn=Directory Manager

   2. Enter the password for the administrator DN account.
   3. Confirm the password.
   4. Click Next.
3. In the next Policy Store dialog, specify if a different LDAP user account is to administer the policy store.

   By default, SiteMinder uses the LDAP administrator account to administer the policy store. You have the option to have the policy store administered through a different LDAP user account. The complete DN for the user is required to configure SiteMinder this way.

   • If you do not want to use a different LDAP account, click Next.
   • If you want to use a different LDAP account, do the following:
     1. Select Use different LDAP user.
     2. Enter the DN of the LDAP user.

     Example: uid=SMAdmin,ou=people,o=security.com.

     1. Enter and confirm the password for the specified account.
     2. Click Next.
4. In the next Policy Store dialog, select Initialize LDAP instance only if you are initializing a new LDAP instance and click Next.
5. For the SiteMinder super user password, complete the following:
   1. Enter a password for the SiteMinder super user account. The pre–defined SiteMinder super user account has maximum SiteMinder privileges. The password can be from 6 to 24 characters in length.

      Note: The password is not case–sensitive, except when the password is stored in an Oracle policy store.

   2. Re–enter the password.

      Important! Take note of the password. You use this password to log into the Policy Server User Interface for the first–time. You can change the password using the Policy Server Management Console.

      Note: We recommend that you do not use this account for day–to–day operations. Instead, use this account to access the Policy Server User Interface for the first–time to create another SiteMinder administrator with system–wide privileges. For more information about the Policy Server Management Console, see the Policy Server Management Guide.

   3. Click Next.
6. Review the settings in the Pre–Configuration Summary and click Install.

   The installation program begins copying files to your system. The installation can take a few minutes.

7. Click Done to complete the installation and reboot your system.

   If there were problems during the installation, you can find the installation log files in siteminder_home/install_config_info.

   The file names are:

   • CA_SiteMinder_Policy_Server_v6.0_SP6_InstallLog.log
   • nete-ps-details.log

     The nete-ps-details.log file lets you determine the status of the policy store.

8. (Optional) Access the Policy Server User Interface.
