Enable the Assertion Generator Plug-in

After writing an assertion generator plug-in and compiling it, enable the plug-in by configuring settings in the FSS Administrative UI. The UI parameters let SiteMinder know where to find the plug-in.

Do not configure the plug-in settings until you deploy the plug-in.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the FSS Administrative UI.
  2. Navigate to the General settings.
  3. In the Assertion Generator Plug-in section, complete the following fields:
    Java Class Name

    Specify a Java class name for an existing plug-in

    Parameter

    (Optional) Specify a string of parameters that is passed to the plug-in specified in the Java Class Name field.

    Note: Instead of specifying the assertion plug-in class and its parameters through the Administrative UI, you can use the Policy Management API (C or Perl) to integrate the plug-in. For more information, see the SiteMinder Programming Guide for C or the SiteMinder Programming Guide for Java.

  4. Restart the Policy Server.

    Restarting the Policy Server ensures that the latest version of the assertion plug-in is picked up after being recompiled.
