Manually Configure a Sun Java System Web Server

The SiteMinder Web Agent Configuration wizard only configures the default instance of your Sun Java System web server. If you want to configure a different instance of the Sun Java System web server to use SiteMinder, you need to manually edit the obj.conf file that is used by that server instance. Examples of server instances that need manual configuration include:

• Servers installed in a non-default directory
• Servers you want to configure as a reverse proxy (we recommend configuring the reverse proxy using your Sun Java System interface before adding the SiteMinder settings to the obj.conf file).
• Virtual servers on the same computer

To manually configure a Sun Java System Web Server

1. Locate the directory of the server instance you want to configure.
2. Open the obj.conf file with a text editor.
3. Locate the following line:

   <Object name="default">
   

4. Insert a new line below the previous one, and then add the following text:

   AuthTrans fn="SiteMinderAgent"
   

5. Locate the following line:

   AuthTrans fn="match-browser" browser="*MSIE*" ssl-unclean-shutdown="true"
   

6. Insert a new line below the previous one, and then add the following text:

   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent/pwcgi" dir="web_agent_home/pw" name="cgi"
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent/pw" dir="web_agent_home/pw"
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent/jpw" dir="web_agent_home/jpw"
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent/redirectjsp" dir="web_agent_home/affwebservices/redirectjsp"
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent/certoptional" dir="web_agent_home/samples"
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/siteminderagent" dir="web_agent_home/samples"
   

   • web_agent_home

     Indicates the directory where the Web Agent is installed.

     Default (Windows installations): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent

     Default (UNIX installations): /opt/ca/webagent

7. Locate the following line:

   NameTrans fn="ntrans-j2ee" name="j2ee"
   

8. Insert a new line below the previous one, and then add the following text:

   PathCheck fn="SmRequireAuth"
   

9. Remove the following line:

   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="C:/Program Files/Sun/WebServer7/lib/icons" name="es-internal"
   

10. Locate the following line:

    ObjectType fn="force-type" type="text/plain"
    

11. Insert a new line below the previous one, and then add the following text:

    Service method="(GET|POST)" fn="SmAdvancedAuth"
    

12. Save the obj.conf file.

    The Sun Java System web server is manually configured.
