Configure a Realm

Realms are groupings of resources in a specific location on your network. The contents of a realm are protected by Agents. When users request resources within a realm, the associated Agent handles authentication and authorization of the user. The realm determines the method of authentication.

You can configure realms for any type of SiteMinder Agent. Realms for Affiliate Agents require far less information than realms for other types of Agents. The process for configuring a nested realm differs slightly, since you must begin the configuration from an existing realm in the SiteMinder Administration window. The following sections discuss the procedures for configuring realms for different Agent types and nested realms.
