SPS and ERP Resources

You can use the SPS to secure resources managed by an ERP system. The SPS can function as a proxy in front of ERP agents protecting the following ERP systems:

• Siebel Application Server
• PeopleSoft Application Server
• SAP AS Web Application Server
• SAP ITS Application Server

While the ERP agent must be installed on the ERP server, the SPS secures the ERP resources at the Policy Server.

Note: For information about the Policy Server settings required to support the ERP server, see the appropriate CA ERP agent guide.

To configure the SPS as a reverse proxy for an ERP agent

1. Specify the ERP server and appropriate port number for the <_nete:forward> element in the proxyRules.xml file.
2. Specify the following values in the server.conf file:
   • Set the value of the enableredirectrewrite parameter to "yes".
   • Set the value of the redirectrewritablehostnames parameter to the host name of the system on which the ERP server is running. For example:

     <VirtualHost name="sales">
     

     hostnames="sales, sales.company.com"
     enableredirectrewrite="yes"
     redirectrewritablehostnames="server1.company.com,domain1.com"
     

     </VirtualHost>
     

   • Set the value of the addquotestocookie parameter in the <_Sever> section of the server.conf to "no". For example:

     addquotestocookie="no"
     

   Note: For information about any required settings on the ERP Server side, refer to the documentation for your ERP server.

The SPS is configured as a proxy for the ERP agent.
