Configure Auto Startup

The following steps make sure the Policy Server restarts automatically when the Solaris system is re-booted.

To configure auto startup

  1. Modify the S98M script by replacing every instance of the string “nete_ps_root” with an explicit path to the SiteMinder installation directory.

    Example: /export/Netegrity/siteminder

  2. Change the directory to the siteminder installation directory.
  3. Enter su and press ENTER.

    Note: Do not use the suse command.

    You are prompted for a password.

  4. Enter the root password and press ENTER.
  5. Enter $ cp S98sm /etc/rc2.d and press ENTER.

    s98sm automatically calls the stop-all and start-all executables, which stop and start the Policy Server’s service when the Solaris system is rebooted.

Note: If you are using a local LDAP directory server as a policy store, you must configure the LDAP directory to start automatically before starting the Policy Server automatically.
