Alias Entries Added

In the Aliases section of the file, entries are added to enable SiteMinder features.

Note the following:

• The Alias /siteminderagent/ “web_agent_home/samples/” entry must come after all other aliases in the Aliases section.
• For SiteMinder to use Basic over SSL or X.509 certificate-based authentication schemes with an Apache Web Agent, SSL must be enabled by compiling the Apache server to include the mod_ssl module. To obtain this module, see www.modssl.org.
• Each alias entry appears on its own line.
