Configuring ADAM as a SiteMinder Policy Store

Microsoft’s ADAM directory provides a free, tightly integrated directory for storing SiteMinder policy information. Unfortunately, ADAM’s interface is not all that easy to understand which makes the initial configuration a little more complicated than desired. Additionally, finding all the specifics on what is needed on the SiteMinder side can be a little unnerving. This article breaks down the installation and configuration of ADAM for use as a SiteMinder policy store. So, let’s get started!

1. Download and Install ADAM

This is probably the most obvious step. As of writing this blog article, the latest version of ADAM can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9688F8B9-1034-4EF6-A3E5-2A2A57B5C8E4&displaylang=en

The download at the link above contains the SP1 integrated package. So, this eliminate the need to install patches after the initial install. After the download completes, run the installer to install the base components.

2. Create a New ADAM Instance

Now that ADAM is installed, you need to create a new instance. To create a new instance select:

Programs -> ADAM -> Create an ADAM Instance
