Configure the Agent to Return Group Membership to WebLogic Server Using Agent Configuration Parameters

By acting as an Authentication Provider for WebLogic Server, the SiteMinder Agent provides the user-group relationships needed during authentication.

To configure the Agent to return a user's physical group name from the user store to the WebLogic Server, modify the Agent Configuration Object with:

• Agent configuration parameters
• SiteMinder administrator and user store parameters

One parameter, SmUserDirectory, differs if the user store is associated with a CA Identity Manager (licensed separately) or non-CA Identity Manager environment. A CA Identity Manager environment is a view of a management namespace that allows CA Identity Manager administrators to manage objects—users, groups, and organizations—with a set of associated roles and tasks.

Note: For more information, see the CA Identity Manager documentation.

Note: The SiteMinder Agent only supports LDAP-based user directories and not those residing in a relational database.
