Configure ADAM/AD LDS as a Policy Store

To configure ADAM/AD LDS as a policy store

1. Be sure that you have met the prerequisites for configuring ADAM/AD LDS as a policy store.
2. When prompted by the installer to configure the policy store, enter the following information:

   IP address

   Specifies the IP Address of the directory server host system.

   Port number

   Specifies the port on which the directory server instance is listening.

   Root DN

   Specifies the root DN location of the application partition in the directory server where the policy store schema must be installed.

   Example: dc=netegrity,dc=com.

   Admin DN

   Specifies the full domain name, including the guid value, of the directory server administrator.

   Example: CN=user1,CN=People,CN=Configuration,CN={guid}

   Admin password

   Specifies the password of the directory server administrator.

3. Specify if a different LDAP user account is to administer the policy store.

   To select no user, enter a "," (comma).

   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.

   Note: This user must have all the necessary privileges to modify attributes and change passwords.

   • If you accept the default go to the next step.
   • If you enter a number do the following:
     1. When prompted, Enter the DN of the LDAP user.
     2. Enter the password for the specified account.
     3. Confirm the password for the specified account.

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

4. Enter 1 to initialize a new 6.x policy store.

   Note: If you do not want to initialize a new policy store, enter a "," (comma).

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 in cases where the password is stored in an Oracle policy store.

   2. 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: For more information about the Policy Server Management Console, see the Policy Server Management Guide.

6. In the Pre–Configuration Summary, be sure that all settings are accurate and press Enter.

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

7. After the installation is complete, press Enter to exit the installer.

   Note: If you configured SNMP, restart the SNMP daemon by entering sh S76snmpdx stop and sh S76snmpdx start in /etc/rc3.d.

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