SSO Support in Custom Agents

When enabled with single sign-on support, custom agents can accept the SMSESSION single sign-on cookie that is created by a standard SiteMinder Web Agent of a previous release.

To accept an SMSESSION cookie created by a custom agent, the Web Agent must be upgraded to at least:

To enable a SiteMinder v4.x, v5.x, or v6.x Web Agent with the appropriate QMR upgrade to accept SMSESSION cookies created by a custom agent, the Web Agent configuration file (LocalConfig.conf with IIS servers or WebAgent.conf with other servers) or central configuration object (for v5.x or higher) must contain the following entry:

AcceptTPCookie="yes"

Set AcceptTPCookie as follows:

• With 4.x QMR4 Agents and above, add AcceptTPCookie="yes" directly in the standard agent's Agent configuration file.
• With 5.x QMR1 Agents and above, add the entry to the standard agent's Agent Configuration Object if the AllowLocalConfig parameter for that object is set to no. If AllowLocalConfig is set to yes, you can set AcceptTPCookie in the Web Agent configuration file.
