The Web Agent Option Pack is a stand-alone component that must be installed separately from CA 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 CA SiteMinder®–specific objects, such as domains, realms, and policies.
For more information, see CA SiteMinder Federation: Partnership Federation Guide.
Legacy Federation (formerly Federation Security Services).
Legacy federation is based on configuring CA SiteMinder® objects, such as affiliate domains, authentication schemes, and policies to protect federated resources.
For more information, see CA SiteMinder Federation: 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.
