Install the Proxy Plug-In

Once the Web Agent authenticates and authorizes a request for a CA Identity Manager resource, the Web Server on which you installed the Web Agent must forward the request to the application server that hosts the Identity Manager Server. This is accomplished through a Web Server proxy plug-in provided by the application server vendor.

To forward these requests, install and configure a JK Connector on the system where the SiteMinder Web Agent installed. See the following Jakarta Project web site for more information about the JK Connector:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/jk.html

The Identity Manager Administrative Tools include sample configuration files that you can use to configure the JK Connector. See the readme.txt file in the directory where the sample configuration files are located for instructions.

The following table describes the location of these files:
