User directories and user databases store user data, including organizational information, user and group attributes, and credentials such as passwords. The Policy Server User Interface allows you to configure connections to existing user directories and databases (user stores). The goal of configuring directory connections is to resolve how the Policy Server establishes a context for user identities. The Policy Server uses these connections to verify user identities and retrieve user attributes contained in the user stores.
The Policy Server supports the following as user directories:
CA Directory, Oracle Directory Enterprise Edition (formerly Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition) LDAP Directory, Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode, Active Directory Global Catalog, Novell eDirectory, Oracle Internet Directory, Domino LDAP, and IBM Directory Server
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and IBM DB2
As indicated in the following diagram, you can configure the SiteMinder Policy Server to connect to any number of user directories of the specified types.
For a list of supported directories, see the Platform Support matrix for SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 on the Technical Support web site at http://ca.com/support.
