Enable and Disable the Adjudication Provider

After you configure the SiteMinder Adjudication Provider in the WebLogic administration console, enable the Adjudication Provider so that it can evaluate authorization decisions.

Important! If the SiteMinder Adjudication Provider is disabled, it will always return DENY access to any resource, including the WebLogic administration functions; you will not be able to start the WebLogic server or access the WebLogic Administration Console.

You enable or disable the SiteMinder Adjudication Provider in the configuration file (WebAgent.conf) for the Agent.

Note: If you are using a single Agent configuration file for multiple SiteMinder Agent providers including the Adjudication Provider and you have already enabled a Provider in that file, you do not need to complete this procedure. Continue the configuration process by completing the verification steps.

To enable and disable the SiteMinder Adjudication Provider

1. Open the Agent configuration file in the ASA_HOME/conf directory.
2. Set the EnableWebAgent parameter as follows:

   To enable the Adjudication Provider, set EnableWebAgent="Yes"

   To disable the Adjudication Provider, set EnableWebAgent="No"

   Note: The EnableWebAgent parameter applies to all of the Providers that use the Agent configuration file. For example, if you configured all of the SiteMinder Agent Providers to use a single Agent configuration file, setting EnableWebAgent to yes enables all of the Providers.
