Configure the SOA Agent for Web Servers

Configure SOA Agent for Web Servers objects as you would a SiteMinder Web Agent. The SOA Agent for Web Servers fully conforms to the CA SiteMinder central Agent management model.

You need to configure:

• Host Configuration Object (one for each Web server)
• Agent Configuration Object (one for each SOA Agent for Web Servers)
• Agent identity (one for each SOA Agent for Web Servers)

Note: For detailed information about how to configure Agent-related objects, see the SOA Security Manager Policy Configuration Guide and the SOA Security Manager Implementation Guide.

To configure the SOA Agent for Web Servers

1. On the Policy Server:
   1. Duplicate or create a Host Configuration Object, which holds initialization parameters for a Trusted Host.

      The Trusted Host is a server that hosts one or more Agents and handles their connection to the Policy Server.

   2. As necessary, add or edit Trusted Host parameters in the Host Configuration Object that you just created.
   3. Duplicate or create an Agent Configuration Object, which holds Agent configuration parameters and can be used to centrally configure a group of Agents.
   4. Add or edit required Agent parameters in the Agent Configuration Object.

      The configuration object should include the standard Web Agent parameters—DefaultAgentName or AgentName to specify the Agent identity, and for IIS Agents, DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword for the IIS proxy account.

   5. Create an Agent identity for the SOA Agent for Web Servers. You must select Web Agent as the Agent type for an SOA Agent for Web Servers.
2. On the system where the SOA Agent for Web Servers is installed, configure the underlying Web Agent to work with the web server.
