The Web Agent Option Pack is a stand-alone component that must be installed separately from SiteMinder. The component installs Federation Web Services (FWS) and support for eTelligent Rules POST variables on an application server or web server.
Note: Unlike the Web Agent Option Pack, the Policy Server Option Pack is no longer a stand-alone component. The Policy Server Option pack is included with the Policy Server installation.
The Web Agent Option Pack supports the following features:
Partnership federation is based on configuring federated partnerships. The partnership model does not require configuration of SiteMinder–specific objects, such as domains, realms, and policies.
For more information, see Federation Manager: Partnership Federation Guide.
Legacy Federation (formerly Federation Security Services).
Legacy federation is based on configuring SiteMinder objects, such as affiliate domains, authentication schemes, and policies to protect federated resources.
For more information, see Federation Manager: Legacy Federation.
eTelligent Rules are policy expressions that combine Boolean operators and user-defined variables and that are evaluated at runtime. As policy expressions, eTelligent Rules allow administrators to implement fine-grained access control of protected resources on a Policy Server–protected website. To support POST variables, the Web Agent Option Pack is required.
For more information about eTelligent Rules, see the Policy Server Configuration Guide.
