AddServerConfig Method—Adds Policy Server Configurations to Agent API Object

The AddServerConfig method adds one or more Policy Server configurations to the Agent API object. Before you can establish a connection between the Policy Server and the Agent API, you must call this method at least once.

Syntax

The AddServerConfig method has the following format:

Netegrity::AgentAPI‑>AddServerConfig(IPAddress[, minConn]
[, maxConn][, stepConn][, timeout][, azPort][, auPort]
[, acPort])

Parameters

The AddServerConfig method accepts the following parameters:

IPAddress (string)

Specifies the IP address of the Policy Server.

minConn (int)

(Optional) Specifies the minimum number of connections allowed.

maxConn (int)

(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of connections allowed.

stepConn (int)

(Optional) Specifies the number of connections to add when all existing connections are being used.

timeout (int)

(Optional) Specifies the time in seconds before the Agent API stops trying to connect to the Policy Server.

azPort (int)

(Optional) Specifies the port number for the authorization service.

auPort (int)

(Optional) Specifies the port number for the authentication service.

acPort (int)

(Optional) Specifies the port number for the accounting service.

Return Value

The AddServerConfig method returns the following value:

• AgentSvrCfg (object)

Remarks

The single-process Policy Server introduced in SiteMinder v6.0 combines the previously separate authentication, authorization, and accounting processes into one combined process whose requests go through one TCP port. As a result, the parameters azPort, auPort, and acPort all reference the same port number. The three arguments are maintained for backward compatibility.
