Agent Configuration Parameters Required by All Agents

All Agents must have a value set for the following parameter:

DefaultAgentName

Defines a name that the Web Agent uses to process requests. The value for DefaultAgentName is used for requests on an IP address or interface when there is no agent name specified in the AgentName parameter.

If you are using virtual servers, you can set up your SOA Security Manager environment quickly by using a DefaultAgentName. Using DefaultAgentName means that you do not need to define a separate Web Agent for each virtual server.

Important! If you do not specify a value for the DefaultAgentName parameter, then the value of the AgentName parameter requires every agent identity in its list. Otherwise, the Policy Server cannot tie policies to the Web Agent.

Default: No default

Limit: Multiple values allowed.

Limits: Must contain 7-bit ASCII characters in the range of 32-127, and include one or more printable characters. Cannot contain the ampersand (&) and asterisk (*) characters. The value is not case-sensitive. For example, the names MyAgent and myagent are treated the same.

The value of the previous parameter entry must exactly match the name of an Agent object that you defined in the Administrative UI.
