Upgrades and Identity Manager

If you are upgrading from cr15 or earlier and are using ODBC user stores, complete the following procedure for every environment related with an ODBC user store before using Identity Manager:

  1. Open the SiteMinder Policy Server User Interface.
  2. Open the anonymous authentication scheme related with the environment using the ODBC user store.
  3. Click the Schema Setup tab and replace the User DN with User ID.
  4. Save the changes.

DN refers to the tblUsers.id field in the ?tblUsers? table of the ODBC user store. The UID is stored in the tblUsers.loginid field.

Example

User ?selfreguser? was chosen as a user for public tasks.

This user has UID = ?selfreguser? (tblUsers.loginid = ?selfreguser?) and DN = ?2? (tblUsers.id = ?2?).

The User DN in the anonymous authentication scheme should be changed from ?2? to ?selfreguser?

Note: If you create a new environment associated with an ODBC user store, ensure this procedure is completed after creating the environment.
