Automating SiteMinder Policy Management Using Perl API supplied by SiteMinder

Install Siteminder docs. then refer Perl API Policy doc for more stuff. Below is an just idea.what I did. It won’t compile if you just copy/paste :). This script brings following ideas.
Creating
1. Connection to siteminder Policy server.
2. Webagent
3. Webagent Group.
4. Custom Auth Scheme
5. Domains
6. Realm Under Domains
7. Rules under Realms
8. Policy for the above rule.
9. Adding response to above policy, add users to policy etc.
Just refer and get an idea and you can implement your scripts easily. Good Luck & post me comment if you need anything

  1. Hi Gopi,

    the above article is interesting and helpful. Though I have been working on Siteminder since 5 years now, never get a chance to write scripts in PERL. I need your suggestion to how to proceed in writing Perl Scripts to migrate policies from one environment to other. I am working on a large setup and usually changes are very less but frequent. In such case there are changes only to one of the rules or just a realm. SMOBJ export import seeems risky as any typo can interfere with other applications too. Please let me know if you have any sample script other then given by CA, it will be of gr8 help to me.

    Regards
    Akshay

  2. Gopi,
    very good work!!! I was trying to leverage your scripts to list all trusted host in my env., but for some reason I wasn’t able to do that. Do you have any suggestions that would point me in the right direction.

  3. Gopi,
    I figured out how to do it so I’ll share it with anyone who might be interested.
    @trustedhost =$mysession->GetAllTrustedHosts();
    foreach $trustedhost(@trustedhost) {
    print $trustedhost->GetName() . “\n”;

    I was doing $trustedhost->Name() when Name() is not a method of GetTrustedHost().

    Your script has definitely pointed me in the right direction. Once again thnk you very much!!

    • Glad that you figured it out..it’s same way as getting all domains..I used to refer API for which all methods they supports

    • I was planning to automate the export import policy for siteminder and come accross this article. Can you forward necessary sample code so I can look and implement it

  4. Hi Gopi,
    This has been very helpful for me. I am trying to create a script that returns ACO parameter values for a specifed parameter name (Ex: IgnoreExt) from all the existing ACO’s. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    • If you follow SM Perl API. It’s very easy to create a script. Below code will help you to print all ACO params.


      @allagentconfigs = $mysession->GetAllAgentConfigs();

      foreach $agentconfig(@allagentconfigs) {
      print "Agent Config Name: ". $agentconfig->Name()."\n";
      @agentconfigassociations=$agentconfig->GetAssociations() ;
      foreach $association(@agentconfigassociations) {
      print "\t".$association->Name()."=".$association->Value()."\n";
      }
      }
