Configure the Single Target Realm

After configuring the authentication schemes, including the custom authentication scheme, you can configure a single target realm for federation resources.

To create the single target realm

1. Log in to the FSS Administrative UI.
2. Select the Domains tab.
3. Select the policy domain you previously created for the single target realm.
4. Select the Realms object and select Edit, Create Realm.

   The Realm Properties dialog opens.

5. Enter the following values to create the single target realm:

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

   • Name

     Enter a name for this single target realm.

6. Complete the following field in the Resource group box:
   • Agent

     Select the SiteMinder Web Agent protecting the web server with the target resources.

   • Resource Filter

     Specify the location of the target resources. This is the location where any user requesting a federated resource should be redirected.

     For example, /FederatedResources.

7. Select the Protected radio button in the Default Resource Protection group box.
8. Select the previously configured custom authentication scheme in the Authentication Scheme group box. This is the custom authentication using the smauthsinglefed library.

   For example, if the custom scheme was named Fed Custom Auth Scheme, this is the scheme you would select.

9. Click OK.

The single target realm task is complete.
