CA Arcot Authentication and Risk Analysis

The simplest deployment includes integrating the Adapter and all related components with SiteMinder.

The Adapter guides users through the authentication (CA Arcot WebFort) and risk evaluation (CA Arcot RiskFort) processes to apply a risk score during authentication.

To deploy Arcot authentication and risk analysis

1. Be sure that CA Arcot RiskFort and CA Arcot WebFort are installed and configured.

   Note: For more information, see the respective CA Arcot installation and deployment guide.

2. Install and deploy the CA Arcot Adapter and all related components. These components include a set of Forms Credential Collector files. These files let you use the Adapter HTML forms authentication scheme to gather user credentials.

   Note: For more information about installing and configuring the Adapter and all related components, see the CA Arcot Adapter for CA SiteMinder Installation and Configuration Guide.

3. Do the following:
   1. Configure a SiteMinder Custom authentication scheme to call the Adapter library.
   2. Determine which Web Agents are included in the CA Arcot integration and configure the respective Agent Configuration Objects (ACO) to support the integration.

   Note: For more information about the required custom authentication scheme and ACO settings, see the CA Arcot Adapter for CA SiteMinder Installation and Configuration Guide.
