Create Cluster Property: siteminder12.agent.configuration

Note: In a high-availability environment where you have installed two gateways, perform these steps on Gateway 1 only.

Configure the siteminder12.agent.configuration property settings for your Layer 7 Gateway node. This cluster property helps manage the interaction of the Gateway with the CA SiteMinder® component.

If your node is part of a cluster, all other nodes in the cluster inherit the new settings as well.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Manage, then Manage Cluster-Wide Properties.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Key field, enter: 
    siteminder12.agent.configuration
  4. Navigate to the Layer 7 Gateway tarball and locate the following file in a text editor: 
    siteminder12.agent.configuration.txt
  5. Save a copy of this file. Rename the copy to reflect the name of the tenant for which you are configuring OAuth. For example: 
    siteminder12.agent.configuration.forwardinc.txt
  6. Open the file in a text editor.
  7. Navigate to the following file: 
    SmHost.conf

    Note: The SmHost.conf file is found in the same location as the smreghost script. The smreghost script runs during installation and creates the SmHost.conf file. You can find it on Gateway 1 in /opt/SecureSpan/siteminder/bin.

  8. Open the file in a text editor.
  9. In the SiteMinder agent configuration file, perform the following operations:
    1. Replace <SITEMINDER-AGENT> with the configured Agent ID from SiteMinder.

      This is the agent associated with all realms.

    2. Replace <SITEMINDER-IP> with the VIP or host name for the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server listed in SmHost.conf.
    3. Replace <SITEMINDER-SECRET> with the secret listed in SmHost.conf.

      Copy and paste the secret, excluding the quotation marks (").

    4. Replace <SITEMINDER-FIPSMODE> with the FIPS mode listed in SmHost.conf.
    5. Replace <CLUSTER-HOSTNAME> with the host name listed in SmHost.conf.
    6. If required, modify other parameters. If not, leave the parameters as the default values.

      Note: The agent.ipcheck parameter must remain set to True.

    7. Save the SiteMinder agent configuration file, then copy the contents of the file to your clipboard.
  10. In the Policy Manager, in the Value field for the siteminder12.agent.configuration property, paste the updated contents of the siteminder12.agent.configuration.txt file.
  11. Click Ok.
