Integration Summary
The RadiantOne federated identity service unifies your identity infrastructure, delivering a global list where every
user is represented only once so SiteMinder can authenticate efficiently, and building a complete identity profile
for each user to enable attribute sharing and fine-grained authorization.

Federating Identities through Virtualization
RadiantOne uses model-driven virtualization to externalize identity out of disparate silos and into a common,
interoperable service. This flexible, scalable infrastructure hides the heterogeneity of your existing identity
sources, providing simple, logical, standards-based access to all the identities within your organization—no matter
where or how they’re stored. With RadiantOne, all your applications get the identity they need, in a view they can
understand. This data drives every identity initiative, including web access management, directory integration, and
cloud federation. RadiantOne makes it easy to extend authentication across web and cloud applications, enable
SSO, enrich policies, speed deployments, and develop more personalized services.

Version 2.0

By creating a single access point, a federated identity service enables SiteMinder to access identities from across
the infrastructure, so you can extend the schemas of underlying data sources with application-specific attributes,
without touching the stores themselves. This allows you to quickly add new services—even ones with specific
attributes not already contained in your data sources—and extend them to new populations, all without having to
change SiteMinder policies.
RadiantOne Virtual Directory Server (VDS) is the main component of the federated identity service.

VDS in Your SiteMinder Deployment:






Integrates identities to create a single account, including a unified policy profile for each user.
Establishes and maintains correlations between disparate accounts.
Offers a high-performance, high-availability LDAP V.3 directory service that’s scalable.
Makes all identity information available in real-time.
Builds a flexible infrastructure that can be re-used across any IdM or related initiative.

System Requirements
RadiantOne VDS is based on Java technologies and Radiant Logic currently provides installers containing all the
pre-requisites (except the Flash plug-in used by administration interfaces) for Windows and Linux. The Flash plugin does not necessarily need to be installed on the server but on the administrative clients.
Here are more details on the supported platforms as of July 2013:

Version 2.0

Configuring SiteMinder to Leverage VDS as a User Directory
It is assumed that RadiantOne is already installed. RadiantOne is typically installed on a dedicated server and is
usually not running on the same server as the SiteMinder Policy Store.
RadiantOne VDS provides an LDAP or LDAPS interface that you can use to connect SiteMinder to VDS. You can
follow the user directory configuration instructions in the Policy Server Configuration Guide to point SiteMinder to
VDS. The configuration steps are similar to CA directory or other LDAP directories. (Look for the page “Configure
CA Directory User Directory Connections”).
Here are some high level steps for SiteMinder r12.5, r12.51, and r12.52:

1.

Launch the SiteMinder Admin UI.

2.

Select ‘Infrastructure’, ‘Directories’, ‘User Directory’.

3.

Click ‘Create User Directory’, and then create an LDAP based user directory based on the SiteMinder
configuration guide.
Below is an example of SiteMinder r12.52 configuration:

Configuring SiteMinder to use RadiantOne VDS as a Policy Store
RadiantOne VDS can function as a policy store. A single directory instance can function as:



Policy Store/Key Store
Gather Directory Server Information

Gather Directory Server Information
Configuring an LDAP directory server as a policy store or upgrading an existing policy store requires specific
directory server information. Gather the following information before beginning. You can use the Policy Store
Worksheets to record your values.
Host Information - fully qualified host name or the IP Address of the directory server.
Port Information – specifies a non-standard port.
Administrative DN – Specifies the LDAP User name of a user who has privilege to create, read, modify, and delete
objects in the LDAP tree underneath the policy store root object.
Administrative Password – specifies the password for the Administrative DN.
Policy Store root DN – specifies the distinguished name of the node in the LDAP tree where policy store objects are
to be defined.
SSL client certificate – specifies the pathname of the directory where the SSL client certificate database file resides.

Import the Policy Store Data Definitions
Importing the policy store data definitions defines the type of objects that can be created and stored in the policy
store.
From a command-line, on the SiteMinder policy store server, execute the following (change the paths to match
your policy server installation if needed):
"c:\Program Files (x86)\CA\siteminder\bin\XPSDDInstall.exe" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\CA\siteminder\xps\dd\SmMaster.xdd" –vT

Import the Default Policy Store Objects
Importing the default policy store objects configures the policy store for use with the Administrative UI and Policy
Server.
From a command-line, execute the following (change the paths to match your policy server installation if needed):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\siteminder\bin\XPSImport.exe" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\CA\siteminder\db\smpolicy.xml" –npass –vT

Note - After importing the default policy store objects restart the policy server.

ample Use Case

Sample Use Case Scenario

Radiant Logic has many joint customers with CA who are using SiteMinder with VDS, including AON and Coca Cola.
The main driver is Mergers & Acquisitions and the main use case for all these customers is to use VDS as a single
user directory for SiteMinder (as the “only” user directory).
Using VDS as a user directory greatly simplifies the configuration changes needed in SiteMinder due to the addition
of a new user population: VDS is in charge of the identity integration and provides a single access point for
authentication. It can also consolidate user attributes coming from multiple places in a global user profile and
enable fine grained access policies. No need to modify each of the SiteMinder domains to add a new user
directory, and then have to modify the policies and other artifacts to integrate the new identities: all the changes
can be done at the VDS layer without impacting SiteMinder.
