Issue/Introduction
While running the Siteminder Agent for Sharepoint Connection Wizard, during the 'Select Action' step a window pops-up with the following message:
Import Default Federation Objects!
Please import ampolicy.smdif using smobimport tool in the policy server before creating sharepoint connections.
There is no '<Install_Dir>/siteminder/bin/smobjimport' tool on the Siteminder Policy Server.
There is no '<Install_Dir>/siteminder/db/ampolicy.smdif' on the Siteminder Policy Server.
Environment
PRODUCT: Siteminder
COMPONENT: Web Agent for Sharepoint
VERSION: 12.52; 12.8.7; 12.8.8
Cause
The 'ampolicy.smdif' file was a legacy policy store schema file used in Siteminder r6 and older. The 'smobjimport' tool still exists to support legacy migrations, however the smobjexport tool was deprecated in r12.0. This is an old message.
Resolution
The objects necessary to support the Sharepoint Web Agent are now contained within the 'ampolicy.xml' file, which is now imported using the XPSImport tool.

XPSImport ampolicy.xml -npass
5) Stop and Start the Policy Server
6) Continue with the configuration of the connections for the Sharepoint agent.
