JACC-Specific Agent Configuration Parameters

Define the following JACC Provider-specific Agent configuration parameters in the appropriate associated Agent Configuration Object or Agent configuration file as needed (there are no required parameters).

Note: The SiteMinder Agent for IBM WebSphere does not use the same agent configuration parameters as a SiteMinder Web Agent and even where parameters have similar names their values might not be compatible. Do not attempt to use the Agent Configuration Object for a SiteMinder Web Agent for the SiteMinder Agent for IBM WebSphere. For a complete listing of configuration parameters for the SiteMinder Agent, see Agent Configuration Parameters.

Parameter

Value

Description

AzCacheSize

Number

Size of the authorization cache (in number of entries) for the JACC Provider. For example:

authcachesize="1000"

Default is 0.

To flush this cache, use the Policy Server User Interface.

IgnoreExt

Comma-separated string

Species common file extensions (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, and .class) that the JACC Provider can ignore. The JACC Provider passes requests for files with these extensions directly to WebSphere without authorization. Use this parameter to specify extensions of files that do not require as much security as other resources

Note: Some configuration parameter values must also match parameter values configured for the SiteMinder TAI. A complete list of Agent configuration parameters with interdependencies noted for all modules is included in Agent Configuration Parameters.

All other SiteMinder-side SiteMinder JACC Provider configuration is covered in Configuring Policies for the SiteMinder Agent.
