Propagate JACC Data Constraint Policy Information to the SiteMinder JACC Provider

If you configure the SiteMinder JACC Provider, verify that WebSphere propagates any transport guarantee requirements for deployed applications to the SiteMinder JACC Policy Provider.

Transport guarantee requirement propagation typically takes place during web application deployment when the WebSphere container reads the web.xml deployment descriptor. However, for applications that were deployed before configuring the SiteMinder JACC Provider, manually propagate this policy information to the SiteMinder JACC Provider using the WebSphere wsadmin administrative scripting tool.

To propagate the security policy of deployed applications to the SiteMinder JACC provider

Note: This procedure only propagates the security policy of deployed applications to the SiteMinder JACC Provider. Repeat the procedure to propagate the security policy of any applications you deploy later.

1. Open a command window and navigate to WS_HOME/bin.
2. Type the following command to start the wsadmin tool:

   wsadmin
   

   If prompted, enter valid WebSphere administrator credentials.

3. Enter the following three commands:

   set secadm [$AdminControl queryNames type=SecurityAdmin,process=server_instance,*]
   

   set appNames [list null]
   

   $AdminControl invoke $secadm propagatePolicyToJACCProvider $appNames
   

   server_instance

   Specifies the name of a WebSphere logical server instance

4. Quit the wsadmin scripting tool.

See the WebSphere documentation for more in-depth information about propagating security policy of installed applications to a JACC provider using wsadmin scripting.
