Configure a Global Web Agent Response Attribute

You can configure a response attribute to store the pieces of information that the Policy Server passes to a SiteMinder Agent. Web Agent response attributes support HTTP header variables, cookie variables, redirections to other resources, text, and timeout values. More information on Web Agent response attribute types exists in the Web Agent Configuration Guide.

Note: If you have purchased CA SOA Security Manager, you can find information about the WebAgent-SAML-Session-Ticket-Variable response attribute type in the CA SOA Security Manager Policy Configuration Guide.
