Enabling single sign-on for SiteMinder

Configure IBM Docs to use Computer Associates' SiteMinder to implement user authentication and single sign-on (SSO).

About this task

The following steps assumes that IBM Docs and IBM Connections are in the same cell.

Procedure

1. Before configuring Siteminder for IBM Docs, you must configure Siteminder for IBM Connections. To enable single sign-on (SSO) between IBM Connections and SiteMinder, refer to Enabling single sign-on for SiteMinder in the IBM Connections knowledge center.
2. On SiteMinder Policy server, create host configuration for each WAS node, for example, Docs, Conversion, and Viewer. If Viewer is installed on the same server as Connections Servers, then there is no need to create host configuration for Viewer. The host configuration creation guide is the same as Connections.
3. Install SiteMinder application agent on each WAS node of Docs, Conversion, and Viewer servers. The installation guide is the same as Connections to install Agent.
4. Synchronize and restart Docs servers from WAS deployment manager console.
