CA SiteMinder® and Microsoft SharePoint

The CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint integrates Microsoft SharePoint 2010 into the SiteMinder web access management environment.

An access control solution uses policy decision points and policy enforcement points. The CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint uses a gateway or proxy server policy enforcement point to protect resources in a Microsoft SharePoint environment. In the network topology, these enforcement points are physically placed between the user and the resource on SharePoint server.
