Chris,
Stay with it - CF 5 and Spectra work together.
The most important thing to do first is to get your Advanced Security Policy
store OFF of Access and on to SQL server. Life will be much easier.
The final version of cf 5 will include a wizard for doing this policy store
initialization. With the cf 5 rc build you need to do the steps manually by
following the instructions on
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/securitywizard.htm
That page is kind of long though, so below are the steps needed to
initialize a fresh Cf 5 policy store on SQL server (refer to the .htm above
for Oracle or LDAP)
***********************************************
Creating a blank CF 5.0 policy store on Sql server:
1. Create a new Sql server database
2. Use the MSSql Query Analyzer tool to execute this script to create the
table structure
- c:\cfusion\database\sql\sm_mssql_ps.sql
** it will complete with errors - this is expected. they can be safely
ignored
** just drop table commands that fail because it's a fresh database (we
love Siteminder!)
3. In the CF admin - create a datasource pointing to your new database and
make sure it verifies OK
4. Run - c:\cfusion\bin\smconsole.exe
a. click on the ODBC tab
1. enter your database name in the "Data Source Name" field
2. enter the username (and password if you set it)
3. click the "Apply" button
5. Open Regedit and modify this value to 0
Hkeylocalmachine/software/netegrity/siteminder/currentversion/database/Updat
eSyncDelay
** if you don't do this step the process will take 30 minutes rather
than 3!!!
6. Cycle (stop then start) these 3 services in the control panel:
- Coldfusion Application Server
- Siteminder Authentication Service
- Siteminder Authorization Service
7. Open a DOS console and run this command:
C:\cfusion\bin\smobjimport.exe -iC:\cfusion\database\smdif\cfall.smdif
-k -v -t
8. Repeat step 6 - (cycle services)
9. Open the CF admin and go to Advanced Security
You now have a clean Sql server policy store and can run the Configuration
Wizard for Spectra 1.5.1
** for spectra 1.5 you will need to adjust the Advanced Security ODBC
settings in the admin for Spectra user directory "UserDirectory". The
Spectra 1.5 config wizard does not create the Spectra user directory
correctly on Cf 5 - there are a bunch of posting with this info on
spectra-talk. Let me know if you have trouble locating the correct
settings.

Subject: Spectra 1.5 w/CF 5.0 RC 1?
Hey out there,
I'm trying to install Spectra 1.5 on a Win2k box with CF 5.0 RC 1.
Of course it fails with the "security policy action failed" messages
that are par for the course.
Am I wasting my time even trying this?
Should I give up and go back to CF 4.5.1?
