Hi,
Some notes from my SM problem solving exercises..
You could try using the cfauthenticate Tag to test authentication
and validate the base SM functionality against a specific SC. The
result can be determined with the isauthenticated() function. I
usually do this code for testing..
<cfauthenticate
securitycontext="your_sc"
username="your_id"
password="your_pw">
<cfoutput>
#isauthenticated()#
</cfoutput>
- turn off all caching in CFAdmin Advanced Security for testing.
- Use smconsole.exe to set database id and pw for SM to access the
policy
store. You can test connectivity here too.
- Use smconsole.exe to turn on SM debugging and write to a log. The
logged data can be helpful.
- Check the primary keys in the userdirectory database, if the
migration lost anything then this could cause issues.
- Sometimes deleting and re-adding the SC and UD in CFAdmin can resolve
issues.
Note: Restarting SM and CF services between tests and after changing
settings is always a standard procedure in my problem resolution
efforts.
I hope that this is helpful,
Dave

Kurt,
I am not real familiar with Advanced Security. I went ahead and
completed
the tests in the following technote. Everything checked out okay.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/spectra/ts/documents/tn18175.htm
I have the following security contexts installed on this box (which is
used
for testing)
cfaibuild - Allaire Spectra Security Context
cfarestorenet - Allaire Spectra Security Context
cfawwwinternet - My Site security context
sc1 - Allaire Spectra Security Context
On my test box (the one having issues) my User Directory is not spelled
exactly like it is in the documentation "userDirectory" rather than
"UserDirectory". I don't know if capitalization counts, but I have
learned
not to discount any detail when dealing with siteminder. Essentially
the
policies and rules for sc1 are empty.
Any ideas? What security context does the Webtop try to authenticate
against? Whats the next step?
Thanks in advance.
Wes
