Configure JBOSS or Tomcat to Work with Federation Web Services

To use a JBoss or Tomcat Application Server in a SiteMinder federated environment, deploy the FWS application on the application server.

The following picture shows the deployment with JBOSS or Tomcat. On Machines 1 and 4, the Web Agent is installed with the JBOSS or Tomcat Connector for proxy support. SSL is enabled between the proxy and the application server. On Machines 2 and 5, FWS is deployed with the application server by way of the Web Agent Option Pack.

The process for deploying FWS is as follows:

1. Create an SmHost.conf file.
2. Create a WebAgent.conf file.
3. Modify the AffWebServices properties file.
4. Deploy the FWS WAR file in the application server.

The following sections detail each step in the process.
