Single Sign-on Support for Standard Agents

Custom agent scripts created with the Perl Agent API can accept SMSESSION cookies created by a standard SiteMinder Web Agent.

However, standard SiteMinder Web Agents can only accept cookies created by a custom agent if the standard agent has been upgraded with the appropriate Siteminder Agent Quarterly Maintenance Release (QMR). For information about the QMR version required for each standard agent version, see the SDK Release Notes.

To enable a SiteMinder agent with the appropriate QMR upgrade to accept SMSESSION cookies created by a custom agent, the agent's Agent configuration file (LocalConfig.conf with IIS servers or WebAgent.conf with other servers) or central configuration object (for v5.x or later) must contain the following entry:

AcceptTPCookie="yes"
