Configure an smetssocookie Web Agent Active Response Attribute

The smetssocookie Web Agent active response generates and sends an SSO cookie to a Web browser. The SSO cookie lets a CA SiteMinder®-authenticated user access WAC or CA SSO protected content without having to reauthenticate.

1. Click Policies, Domain.
2. Click Responses.
3. Click Create Response.
4. Select a domain from the list and click Next.
5. Define a Name and Description for the response.
6. Verify that the CA SiteMinder® is selected and that Web Agent appears in the Agent Type list.
7. Click Create Response Attribute.
8. Verify that Create a new object is selected, and then click OK.
9. Select WebAgent-HTTP-Cookie-Variable from the Attribute list.
10. Select Active Response in Attribute Kind.
11. In the Cookie Name field, type SSOTK.
12. In the Library Name field, type smetssocookie.
13. In the Function Name field, type GenEtssoCookie.

    Note: The function name is case-sensitive.

14. In the Parameters field, define the following tokens:

    <CA_PS_Host_Name>;<SSO_Auth_Host>;<SSO_AuthMethod>;<EncryptionKey>

    CA_PS_Host_Name

    Specifies the host name of the CA SSO Policy Server.

    The response can be added to an OnAuthAccept rule.
