Configure Registry Keys for a LanMan Directory Connection

The first procedure in configuring a LanMan directory connection is configuring the appropriate registry keys.

To configure registry keys for a LanMan directory connection

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run.

   The Run dialog opens.

2. Enter regedit in the Run dialog and click OK.

   Windows opens the Registry Editor.

3. Modify the following registry key:
   • In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\Siteminder\CurrentVersion\Ds, the NameSpaces key is set to the following string value:

     "LDAP:,ODBC:,OCI:,WinNT:,Custom:,AD:"

   • Add the following string to the value data for the NameSpaces registry key: Lanman.
4. Create the following registry key:

   \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Ds\Lanman_DC

5. Create a registry key of the NT Domain Name under the Lanman_DC key:

   \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Ds\Lanman_DC\<NT_domain_name>

   For example:

   \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Ds\Lanman_DC\MyDomain

6. Create a registry value named NumUserDir of type DWORD under the newly created NT Domain key. For the value data, enter the actual number of separate sets of user directories (maximum 16) in this NT domain.
7. Create String registry values of UserDir0, UserDir1, …, UserDirN, in sequential order starting from 0, for each failover list of BDCs.
8. Enter comma delimited strings for each failover list. SmDsLanman will read the lists and will find the first active BDC in each failover list to look up NT users and groups.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for other NT domains.
10. Restart the Policy Server services.
