Administrator Specification

By default, CA IdentityMinder uses the ID of the administrator that SiteMinder or SOA Security Manager has already authorized and whose ID is included in the session information.

You can change this default by modifying the web.xml file. The location depends on your environment:

• JBoss and WebLogic:

  iam_im.ear\user_console_war\WEB-INF
  

• WebSphere:

  WebSphere-ear\iam_im.ear\user_console_war\WEB-INF
  

Whether CA IdentityMinder uses the ID specified in the session or specified through an < admin_id> element is determined by the values of the < param-value> elements in the following default section of web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Tews6Servlet</servlet-name>
    <display-name>IM 6.0 Task Execution WebService Servlet</display-name>
    <servlet-class>
        com.netegrity.ims.tews.Tews6Servlet
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>use_admin_id</param-name>
        <param-value>false</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>require_sm_headers</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>
