Policy Server Does Not Connect to LDAP Stores Using SSL with AKI

Platform: Solaris only

Problem

The Policy Server does not connect to LDAP stores that use SSL certificates with the AKI extension.

Solution

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Install the patch corresponding to your version of Solaris:
    Patches for Solaris 8 and 9

    Deploy libraries in the following directory: /usr/lib/mps/secv1.

    Patch for Solaris 10

    Deploys libraries in the following directory: /usr/lib/mps.

    Note: Since a default installation of Solaris 10 contains the necessary libraries already, you may not need this patch.

  2. Verify the following:
  3. Stop the Policy Server.
  4. Copy the following five libraries to the ../siteminder/lib directory, overwriting the existing libraries:
  5. Restart the Policy Server.

The Policy Server can now connect to LDAP stores that use SSL certificates with the AKI extension.
