Authentication Scheme Configuration

When you configure an authentication scheme programmatically, you provide information that would otherwise be provided through the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog box of the Policy Server UI.

When you configure an authentication scheme, you use the get... and set... methods in the SmScheme class to provide the following information:

Scheme type
SiteMinder provides a number of standard authentication scheme types (also called templates). Each authentication scheme type is configured differently. The scheme types are descibed in subsequent topics.
Description
Brief description of the authentication scheme.
Protection level
Protection level values can range from 1 through 1000. The higher the number, the greater the degree of protection provided by the scheme.
Library
An authentication scheme library performs authentication processing for the associated authentication scheme type. Each pre-defined authentication scheme is shipped with a default library, which you typically will use. But optionally, you can use a custom library instead of the default.
Parameter
Additional information that the authentication scheme requires, such as the URL of an HTML login page.

With some authentication schemes, the parameter information is constructed from field values in the Scheme Type Setup tab of the Authentication Scheme Properties dialog box. To see how a parameter string might be constructed for a given scheme type, open this dialog box, choose the appropriate scheme type, provide values to the fields in the Scheme Type Setup tab, and view the constructed parameter in the Advanced tab.

For information on providing parameter values for different authentication scheme types, see the chapter on authentication schemes in the Policy Design Guide.
Shared Secret
Information that is known to both the authentication scheme and the Policy Server. Different authentication schemes use different kinds of secrets. Most schemes use no secret.
Is template?
A flag that specifies whether the authentication scheme is a template.
Is used by administrator?
A flag that specifies whether the authentication scheme can be used to authenticate administrators.
Save Credentials?
A flag that specifies whether the user’s credentials will be saved.
Is RADIUS?
A flag that specifies whether the scheme can be used with RADIUS agents.
Ignore password check?
A flag that specifies whether password policies for the scheme are enabled. If True (1), password policies will be disabled.

Note: These categories of information can be used for different purposes in different authentication schemes. For example, with the TeleID authentication scheme, the shared secret is used to supply the encryption seed.

smauthetsso Authentication Scheme

The smauthetsso authentication scheme is similar to the SiteMinder X.509 certification scheme, but with an eSSO cookie as the authentication credential instead of an X.509 credential.

If this scheme is configured for either cookieorbasic or cookieorforms mode, and both an eSSO cookie and login name and password credentials are passed to it, the eSSO cookie is ignored, and the login name and password are used to authenticate the user to SiteMinder.

When the eSSO cookie is the only credential, the authentication scheme uses the ETWAS API to connect to the configured eSSO Policy Server to validate the cookie and extract the user Distinguished Name (DN) from it.

Use this table when configuring an smauthetsso authentication scheme, which is based on the scheme type Custom. The Java methods referenced in the table are in the class SmScheme.

Parameter	setParameter(param) An ordered set of tokens, separated by semi-colons: <Mode>[; <Target>]; <Admin>; <eTPS_Host> You can add spaces to make the string easier to read. <Mode> specifies the type of credentials that the authenticaion scheme will accept. The following values are possible: cookie -- Only SSO Cookies are acceptable. cookieorbasic -- If an SSO Cookie is not provided, a login name and password are requested by using Basic Authentication. cookieorforms -- If an SSO Cookie is not provided, a login name and password are requested by using Forms Authentication. <Target> is valid only with cookieorforms mode. This is identical to the Target field for standard HTML Forms Authentication Scheme. <Admin> specifies the login ID of an administrator for the Policy Server. The password for this administrator has been specified in the Shared Secret field. <eTPO_Host> specifies the name of the amchine on which the Policy Server is installed. SiteMinder will authenticate itself as <Admin> to the Policy Server on the <eTPS_Host> so that SiteMinder can request validation of SSO cookies. Examples: "cookie; SMPS_sso; myserver.myco.com" "cookieorforms; /siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc; SMPS_sso; myserver.myco.com"

For example: http://myiiswebserver.mycompany.com/ siteminderagent/ntlm/creds.ntc A SiteMinder Web Agent must be installed on the specified server. By default, the Web Agent installation creates a virtual directory for NTLM credential collection. Windows Authentication (for Active Directory running in native mode) With this authentication style, param has an LDAP filter added to the beginning of the redirection URL. The filter and URL are separated by a semi-colon (;). For example: cn=%{UID},ou=Users,ou=USA,dc=%{DOMAIN}, dc=mycompany,dc=com;http:// myiiswebserver.mycompany.com/ siteminderagent/ntlm/creds.ntc SiteMinder uses the LDAP filter to map credentials received from the browser/Web Agent to an LDAP DN or search filter.

Shared secret	setSecret("") Set to an empty string. Not applicable to this scheme.
Is template?	setIsTemplate(0) Set to 0 to indicate that the scheme is not a template, or 1 if the scheme is a template. Default is 0.
Is used by administrator?	setIsUsedByAdmin(0) Set to 0—scheme is not used to authenticate administrators.
Save credentials?	setAllowSaveCreds(0) Set to 0 to indicate that user credentials won’t be saved.
Is RADIUS?	setIsRadius(0) Set to 0—scheme is not used with RADIUS agents.
