How to verify the Siteminder policy server / web agent version details.

Resolution

There are a couple of ways to find the version information.

1) In the /siteminder/install_config_info/ path, there is a version file. The name format for the Policy Server for example is ca-ps-version.info. The Web Agent name is ca-wa-version.info.

ProductName=CA Single Sign-On Policy Server
FullVersion=12.80.0.1761
Location=C:\Program Files\CA\siteminder

 

2) Next by checking the main component logs, for example on the Policy Server this is usually named smps.log. Upon startup, it will list out an info line with the version:

[INFO][sm-Server-03550] Version: 12.8; Update: 00.00; Build: 1761; CR: 00;

 

3) A third option for the Policy Server is using the command line. In the /siteminder/bin/ path, there is a Version command. Sourcing the environment variables and running the command will output the build #s.

C:\Users\Administrator>version
[Version - Version 12.8.0000.1761]

 

4) Lastly, by launching the Policy Server Management Console, in the menu click help. This will display the version of the Policy Server.
