    1. Hi Sangamesh,

      Siteminder is used for Single Singon.
      It also provides options to define authorization policies.

      Thanks,

  4. Hello Faisal,
    We are trying to use site minder, iis7.0 & web logic. The challenge we are facing with the integration is that siteminder is expecting login id, but getting employee Id. Any input on how to fix the mapping will be helpful.
    Thanks
    Nitin

    1. Not sure, will have to check your configuration.
      We can do a screensharing on skype.
