Set the Web Agent Parameters for Impersonation (r12.0 SP2)

The SiteMinder Web Agent requires the following parameters to control Windows Impersonation:

SPEnableImpersonation

Lists the URLs of the SharePoint web applications for which Windows impersonation is used.

Example: server_name.domain_name:port_number

Default: None (Windows Impersonation not used).

SPImpersonateResponseVarName

Specifies the name of a Response variable created in SiteMinder which is mapped to a UserPrincipalName attribute of the user in an Active directory server and assigned as a response to the SiteMinder policy.

Default: None
