Configure a Global Web Agent Response Attribute

You can configure a response attribute to store the pieces of information that the Policy Server passes to a SOA Agent. SOA Agent response attributes support HTTP header variables, cookie variables, redirections to other resources, text, and timeout values.

You create a response attribute for a SOA Agent by selecting SiteMinder and Web Agent on the Attributes group box on the Response pane.

To create a response attribute

1. Click Create Response Attribute on the Attribute List group box on the Response pane.

   The Create Response Attribute pane opens.

2. Select a response attribute from the Attribute drop-down list.
3. Select an attribute type on the Attribute Kind (one of Static, User Attribute, DN Attribute, and Active Response) group box.

   The fields on the Attribute Fields group box are updated to match the specified attribute type.

4. Complete the fields on the Attribute Fields group box.

   Note: For WebAgent-SAML-Session-Ticket-Variable and WebAgent-WS-Security-Token attributes, you can either enter values directly in the Variable Name and Variable Value fields or populate those fields with valid values from the Select a Name and Select a Value lists that appear.

5. Specify Cache Value or Recalculate value every ... seconds on the Attribute Caching group box.
6. Click Submit.

   The Create Response Attribute Task is submitted for processing, and the response attribute is added to the Attribute List on the Response pane.
