Custom Agents

You create a custom XML-enabled agent using either the C or Java version of the XML Agent Content Helper API included in the SOA Security Manager Software Development Kit.

Note: Custom Agents do not support central agent configuration. More information about using an API to create a custom Agent exists in the SiteMinder Programming Guide for C or the SiteMinder Programming Guide for Java.

After you develop your own Agent, you must configure a new Agent type. The Agent type defines the behavior of an agent and lets you use the custom Agent to protect resources.
