Access the Snoop Servlet in a Web Browser

After setting up the Snoop servlet example for your SiteMinder Agent configuration in the SiteMinder Policy Server, access the Snoop servlet.

To access the Snoop servlet in a web browser

1. Verify that the Policy Server, web server, and WebSphere are running.
2. Verify that the Web Agent and SiteMinder Agent module or modules are enabled (the EnableWebAgent parameter is set to "YES" in the WebAgent.conf associated with the Web Agent and the Agent configuration files associated with the SiteMinder Agent module or modules).

   If they are not enabled, set the parameter to YES, and then restart the web server and Web Agent.

3. In a browser, access the Snoop servlet at the following URL:

   http://fully_qualified_domain_name:port/snoop
   

   where fully_qualified_domain_name is the name of the server where WebSphere is installed and port is its port number. For example:

   server2.ca.com:9080
   

Using the HTML Forms authentication scheme, the Web Agent should challenge you for credentials through the Default Snoop Realm. Once you are authorized by WebSphere or the SiteMinder JACC Provider, you are granted access to the Snoop servlet on the WebSphere server.

To verify that everything is working as expected, view the log files of the SiteMinder Agent modules and Web Agent. The logs should indicate that everything is working correctly. If the logs indicate problems, troubleshoot your configuration.
