SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor

The SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor provides an identity assertion solution for securing JBoss web container resources by perimeter authentication.

In the perimeter authentication model, user identity is validated outside the JBoss security domain and passed to the JBoss Application Server in the form of a token associated with the user request. An Identity Asserter configured within the JBoss security domain then obtains authenticated user information from the token.
