Configure a Realm with a SiteMinder Web Agent

When you create a domain, you can create one or more realms in the domain and associate them with a SiteMinder Web Agent or Agent group. Realms group resources that have similar security requirements and share a common authentication scheme.

Note: The following procedure assumes that you are creating an object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object. For more information, see Duplicate Policy Server Objects.
