Install the Consuming-side Web Agent Option Pack

The Web Agent Option Pack supplies the Federation Web Services application, which is a required component for SiteMinder federation security services.

At the consuming authority, do the following:

  1. Install the Web Agent Option Pack.

    For instructions, see the Policy Server, Web Agent Option Pack Release Notes.

  2. Be sure to install a JDK, which is required by the Web Agent Option Pack.

    To determine the required JDK version, go to the Technical Support site and search for SiteMinder 6.0 Platform Matrix.

Note: The SPS federation gateway can replace the Web Agent and Web Agent Option Pack to provide the SiteMinder Federation Web Services application functions. For information about installing and configuring the SPS federation gateway, see the CA SiteMinder Secure Proxy Server Administration Guide.
