Prerequisites for Using the SPS as a Web Agent Replacement

Before you configure SPS for use in a SiteMinder Federation Security Services environment, consider the following:

• The SiteMinder environment must be configured according to the information in the CA SiteMinder Federation Security Services Guide. We recommend that you configure a Federation environment with a standard Web Agent to confirm that Federation Security Services is configured properly.
• After you confirm that the federation environment is working properly, install the Web Agent Option Pack on the SPS system, or on a separate system.
• Install a Servlet Engine for use by the Web Agent Option Pack.

  For more information about FSS and servlet engines, see the CA SiteMinder Federation Security Services Guide.

• In the SiteMinder Policy Server User Interface, define the host information (server and port number) for the SPS system that generates assertions. The SPS host is defined in the Server field of the appropriate properties dialog for the federated partner you are specifying.
