Federation Web Services Access

A Web Agent protects the FWS application. The Agent must be bound to the realms that contain the servlets that make up the FWS application. To associate the Web Agent with the realms, add the Agent to the default Web Agent group. The default Web Agent group is established as part of the Web Agent Option Pack installation. Additionally, the Service Providers need access to the Assertion Retrieval Service to obtain assertions.

To allow access to Federation Web Services

Add the Web Agent that protects Federation Web Services to the Agent group FederationWebServicesAgentGroup.

This associates the Agent with the default realms.
