  • Upcoming SiteMinder Office Hours - June 30, 2025

    The SiteMinder Product Team will be hosting Office Hours on Monday, June 30, 2025 at 11:00 US Eastern time (8:00 US Pacific time and 17:00 Central European Time).

    These meetings last one hour and are composed of two general sections.  In the first section, we present topics of prepared information and in the second section we provide the opportunity for customers to ask questions of the SiteMinder team.  Team members from SiteMinder that participate in the call include development engineers, support team engineers, field engineers, and product management.

    During the session we will describe and demonstrate two SiteMinder feature areas:

     -  In release 12.9 we introduced the External Authentication Provider feature that enables integration of external authentication providers via OIDC.  This feature allows SiteMinder to fully delegate authentication to a 3rd party authentication system or snap in a 3rd party authentication system into the SiteMinder authentication chaining capability.  We will be showing how this can be done with Entra ID.

     -  SiteMinder’s modern deployment option supports a cloud native container format.  In this format, SiteMinder offers methods to load configurations as it spins up new instances, as well as, insert new configurations during runtime.   We will describe and demonstrate the capabilities of the SiteMinder Config Retriever container and the Runtime Config Retriever container in a Kubernetes-supported deployment of SiteMinder. 

    Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the experts, see demonstrations, and get your questions answered about the future of secure, scalable identity management.
