Install the Proxy Plug-In for JBoss

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:

The Identity Manager Administrative Tools include sample configuration files that you can use to configure the JK Connector. For instructions, see the readme.txt file in the directory noted in the following table.
