Web Agents use Agent keys to encrypt and decrypt SiteMinder cookies so the data they contain can be read. The Agent uses the key to encrypt cookies before sending them to a user's browser and to decrypt cookies received from other Web Agents. When a Web Agent starts up and makes a management call request, the Policy Server supplies the current set of keys. Each time that the Web Agent polls the Policy Server, the Agent again makes the management call. The Web Agent receives the updated keys. These keys are stored in either the policy store or in a separate store.
