    Question:

     

    I'm upgrading a Policy
    Server to 12.8, and I'd like to get download link to the
    ArcotSiteMinderAdapter component.

     

    I'm aware of this issue because the Policy Server 12.8 installer
    was reporting at run time the following message :

    The Upgrade Readiness utility has identified potential issues.
    Remove or upgrade (to a 64-bit version) the identified custom components after
    the upgrade completes. Starting the Policy Server without doing so will likely
    result in errors. See the documentation for more information about the
    utility.

     

    Custom Binaries that are configured and available in lib or bin
    ================================================================
    Binary Name: ArcotSiteMinderAdapter
    Object Name: ArcotMfa
    Object Type: Authentication Scheme
    Object Path: AuthScheme[ArcotMfa]
    Binary Path: /apps/sm/netegrity/siteminder/lib/libArcotSiteMinderAdapter.so
    Description: 32-bit binarys

    How can I get the correct binaries ?

     

    Answer:

     

    You'll have to upgrade the CA Adaptor to version 8.x, 9.0. The version
    6.2.0.2 is out of support with Policy Server 12.8.

     

    Configuring CA Single Sign-On Policy Server

    In the Scheme Setup section of the Create Authentication Scheme
    screen, perform tasks that are mentioned: Enter the Adapter library
    file name as ArcotSiteMinderAdapter in the Library field.
