7 Formulating a Solution

8 © March 18, 2004 Novell Inc. 8 The Solution Novell DirXML/eDirectory eDirectory 8.7 and DirXML 1.1a PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal Enterprise Portal 8.4, Upgrading to 8.8 HR 7.5 (Upgrading to HR 8.8) Financials 8.4 (Upgraded from Financials 7.5) Netegrity SiteMinder Policy Server 5.5 SP1

9 9 Components That Make Up the System SiteMinder eDirectory DirXML Web Server Netegrity’s SiteMinder supplies single sign on authentication and policy based resource authorization IBM HTTP (Apache) and IIS Web Servers serve the applications eDirectory is the Meta Directory DirXML is the glue used for aggregating and synchronizing users and application roles

10 © March 18, 2004 Novell Inc. 10 Automated User Provisioning Users created in Active Directory and pushed to Meta Directory by DirXML As Active Directory account (including password) is updated the change is automatically pushed to user’s account in eDirectory Near Future – synchronize user information in PeopleSoft HR with Meta Directory Future – automated security assignments

15 15 Security Process eDirectory SiteMinder Policy Engine  SiteMinder Authenticates the user against their Directory Account and checks the users Authorization for Accessing the Portal PeopleSoft Database  If the user is not already authenticated to SiteMinder, the Web Agent automatically logs into the Portal as DEFAULT_USER using a custom login.fcc file Apache Web Server PeopleSoft Server User enters their Userid and password and posts the credentials to the SiteMinder login.fcc   User Requests http://wmvisorep.wm.com In their browser  If the user’s account does not exist in the Portal it is created The Portal Guest Page is displayed   The user is presented with their personalized view of the portal  SignOn PeopleCode in PS App Server executes. User ID is passed to PS Server as header variable  The user’s roles, permission lists and things like email address and user description are dynamically added  Netegrity PeopleSoft Connector checks Portal and SiteMinder sessions to make sure that they are the same user

16 16 Software Configuration WebLogic Application Servers WebLogic 6.1 SP2 Web Servers IBM HTTP Server 1.3.19 Netegrity Apache Web Agent V5QMR2 SiteMinder Policy Servers Netegrity SiteMinder Policy Server 5.5 SP1 eDirectory LDAP Servers Novell eDirectory 8.7 DirXML 1.1a Database Batch Server Oracle 9.2.0.2 PeopleTools 8.42.05 Tuxedo 6.5 Oracle 9.2.0.2 PeopleTools 8.42.05 Tuxedo 6.5 Netegrity PeopleSoft Connector 1.2 PeopleSoft Application Servers
