Response Types

A response is a container for one or more response attributes. The response attributes are what a SiteMinder Agent receives after the Policy Server processes a response. The available response attributes differ based on the type of response.

There are three types of SiteMinder responses:

• Web Agent responses
• Affiliate Agent responses
• RADIUS responses.

Note: You can create response types for custom Agents and response attributes using the SiteMinder APIs, which are available separately with the Software Development Kit. More information exists in the API Reference Guide for C.
