Configure a Web Agent Response Attribute

You can create a response attribute for a SiteMinder Web Agent by selecting SiteMinder and Web Agent on the Attributes group box on the Response pane. Web Agent response attributes support HTTP header variables, cookie variables, redirections to other resources, text, and timeout values.

Note: If you have purchased and installed SOA Security Manager, you can create a WebAgent-SAML-Session-Ticket-Variable response attribute. For more information, see the CA SOA Security Manager Policy Configuration Guide.
