Configure a SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor Authentication Realm

Configure a realm on the Policy Server to allow the SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor to validate users' credentials using information obtained from SiteMinder session cookies. You use the SiteMinder Administrative UI to create the SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor authentication realm.

For more information about the SiteMinder Administrative UI and its use to create domains and realms, see the CA SiteMinder Policy Configuration Guide.
