Authentication Scheme Dialog—X509 Client Cert Template—Scheme Setup Tab

This is where you enter information about the SSL server and the .scc file for your X.509 client certificate authentication scheme.

Server Name

Fully qualified domain name of the SSL server.

Note: IP addresses are not supported.

This is the server that is responsible for establishing an SSL connection. Although it is possible, this server is usually not the same server where the Web Agent is installed.

The server acts as the beginning of the URL that SiteMinder uses to redirect a user’s X.509 certificate over an SSL connection. Domain names must contain at least 2 periods and be specified using the following format:

servername.host.com:[port]

Example: server1.security.com. The port is only required for communication over a non-default port.

Target

Path and name for the SSL Credentials Collector (SCC).

The target tells the SiteMinder Web Agent what to use to invoke the SCC. It completes the URL that SiteMinder uses to redirect the user’s credentials over an SSL connection. The target can be customized in circumstances where proxy servers require specific URLs in order to support Basic over SSL authentication.

SiteMinder provides a default path when you select the X.509 Client Certificate authentication scheme.
