Case 3: Agent for SAP Web AS and Federation Manager with the SiteMinder Connector

Federation Manager with the SiteMinder Connector enabled protects the SAP Web AS and requests for federation resources.

A deployed SiteMinder system can integrate with Federation Manager to allow authentication using SiteMinder. This integration is accomplished using the SiteMinder Connector, a software component included with Federation Manager.

The following illustration shows this deployment with SiteMinder, Federation Manager, and the SAP Web AS:

Note: The Policy Server for which the Federation Manager connector is configured must be the same Policy Server for the SiteMinder Agent for SAP Web AS.
