Example of Using Central and Local Configuration

Scenario:

To configure multiple cookie domain single sign-on across your SiteMinder network without having to configure each Agent individually.

The CookieDomain parameter in the Agent Configuration Object is set to acmecorp.com. However, for one Web Agent in your network, you want to set the CookieDomain parameter to test.com while still using all the other parameter values set in the Agent Configuration Object.

Solution:

To implement the example configuration

1. Configure an Agent Configuration Object with all the parameters applicable for your environment.
2. In the Agent Configuration Object, set the AllowLocalConfig parameter to yes.
3. At one Web Agent, change only the CookieDomain parameter to test.com. Do not modify any other parameters.

The value for the CookieDomain parameter in the Agent configuration file overrides the value in the Agent Configuration Object, while the Agent Configuration Object determines the settings for all the other parameters.
