Hi Hubert,
the customer has 2 DEV, 2 QA and 2 PROD Policy Server environments. All systems are running currently under RedHat 6.
The idea is to have an (semi-) automatic mechanism for the moving the implementation from one stage to another.
Each stage has it's own configuration settings i.e. DNS records, IP addresses, etc.
Therefore the automation software should be as flexible as possible and should support different settings.
Questions are:
a) What is a good environment to start: Is CA Release Automation a good environment? Also I heard about CA Express Install which can install unattended a SiteMinder environment? Any other environment?
b) Which installations or configurations do already exist for SiteMinder and can be used and adapted for customer's environment?
c) For installations/configurations automation is hard to implement?
d) Which installations can be automated but there is no yet existing automation
With answers to these questions we can build a picture how such an environment will look like.
Do you have any input for these questions?
Kind regards,
Gottfried
