Issue/Introduction

While integrating Identity Manager with Siteminder following steps in below documentation

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/identity-security/identity-manager/14-2/configuring/ca-single-sign-on-integration/integrate-ca-single-sign-on-with-ca-identity-manager.html

at step 9. Restart Application Server (see above documentation), User Store and Provisioning Store are created automatically but not the Environment. IM won't start. We are getting the following exceptions

Environment

Identity Manager 14.2
Siteminder 12.8

Cause

This issue happens when Identity Manager is installed with OOTB IM Environment (Out-of-the-box IME). SampleEnvironment.properties file under <Application Server's deployment directory>\iam_im.ear\user_console.war\META-INF directory was not corrected before the Application Server restart.

Resolution

Modify the following 2 parameter in SampleEnvironment.properties file under <Application Server's deployment directory>\iam_im.ear\user_console.war\META-INF directory to have correct values and the restart the Application Server again.

@IMEAgent : this parameter value should be the Web Proxy Server's SSO Web Agent name
@baseurl : this parameter value should be the Web Proxy Server's URL that redirector to IM 

e.g.

I have built my Web Proxy Server for this integration utilizing Symantec Access Gateway (SPS). The SSO Web Agent installed in this SPS machine is configured as sps_agent. In this SPS we also have configured redirection from http://<sps fqhn>/iam/im/identityEnv to http://<im fqhn>:8080/iam/im/identityEnv. So the above parameter settings are 

@IMEAgent=sps_agent
@baseurl=http://<sps fqhn>/iam/im
