It varies a little by directory type, but in general Siteminder opens up three connections when connecting to an LDAP User Store: - The first connection is to verify that the LDAP server is running. The Policy Server will "ping" the LDAP server usi…

Got the active expression working. I deployed on a fresh environment and everything worked fine. I still think it was the conflicting java versions used. Todd, thanks for the help!

The cache shouldn't come into play here. One thing I noticed above is that you list the parameter as being set to "customclass.java". Is the what you tried in the different scenarios as well? I believe that the parameter should be a reference to the…

Hi Todd, Moving the rule to a separate policy doesnt seem to help. I suspect that the custom class never gets called. I put some debug lines in the class but never see them in the logs. Now I also tried a go with creating simple custom authenticat…

I can never remember the rules for which rules can appear in the same policy. Is you OnAuthAccept rule in the same policy as your GET/POST/PUT rules? If so, you could try moving the OnAuthAccept rule to a separate policy. I don't think that is the p…

Todd Clayton replied to ava mell's discussion 'siteminder and ldap'

Hi, Yes, that should work. You can just return TRUE or something like that for the actual response. I have not gone through the API in detail, but this should work. In the Active Response you have access to the Sm_Api_UserContext_t structure. So, y…

ava mell replied to ava mell's discussion 'siteminder and ldap'

Thanks Todd. Im interested in creating active response. Correct me if Im wrong but from what I've gathered from your explanation, I can create a class to do the setting in LDAP that siteminder trigger upon OnAuthAccept. Is it much like a trigger in…

Hi, Yes, this is the information that I was referring to that is stored in the password services blob. It is stored in the same user repository as the user. There is no way to put this information in another source. Also, this information is encryp…

btw, I looked at the password services documentation and it says there : Track Login Details Check Box This check box enables and disables tracking of user login attempts and successful logins, including the time of the last login. If you enable t…

yes. i want to capture the login time and store it in an attribute in ldap. I have a common login app(java) that is posting to the fcc file. Siteminder does its thing and then redirect the page to the original request(apps that I have no control off…

Todd Clayton replied to ava mell's discussion 'siteminder and ldap'

What are you trying to update? Is it something last last login time? If so, you could use password services. I think you can read the password services blow now with the API to get the attributes. If it is a different value, there is no automatic wa…
