SITEMINDER CA Single Sign-On

Issue/Introduction

As per security policy, would it be disabled and/or renamed to the default administrator account (siteminder) for SiteMinder?

Would there be any issues with administering, patching, maintaining the AdminUI and Policy Server when renaming the Siteminder account to another name?

Resolution

The default "siteminder" super user is created when initializing the Policy Store. 

By the current design, it cannot be renamed and/or disabled.

Although it's recommended not to use the super user for daily operations, and create multiple administrator accounts for different admin roles in the organization (1).
