A Universal ID (UID) is a customer-specific user identifier to any application that is under SiteMinder control. In many cases UIDs are different from user login names.
UIDs allow SiteMinder to bridge the gap between new applications and legacy applications, or to avoid changes in underlying user repositories. The goal is to make the process of delivering this ID to applications automatic, regardless of the number or type of application. Since the Policy Server uses a login name to identify a user in a directory, the UID provides another means for the Policy Server to identify the user. The UID is collected from a user directory for use by other applications.
When you configure a user directory connection in the Policy Server User Interface, you can specify a UID in the User Attributes tab of the User Directory Dialog.
