Example of Using Central and Local Configuration

Scenario:

You want to configure multiple cookie domain single sign-on across your SiteMinder network without having to configure each Agent individually.

The CookieDomain parameter in the Agent Configuration Object is set to acmecorp.com. However, you want to set the CookieDomain parameter to test.com for one Web Agent in your network, while continuing to use all of the other parameter values set in the Agent Configuration Object.

Solution:

To implement the example configuration

1. Configure an Agent Configuration Object with all the parameters applicable for your environment.
2. In the Agent Configuration Object, set the AllowLocalConfig parameter to yes.
3. For the single Web Agent, change only the CookieDomain parameter to test.com. Do not modify any other parameters.

The value for the CookieDomain parameter in the Agent configuration file overrides the value in the Agent Configuration Object, while the Agent Configuration Object determines the settings for all the other parameters.
