Handle Multiple AuthTrans Functions for Oracle iPlanet Web Servers

AuthTrans functions are directives that initialize the Oracle iPlanet web server. The Oracle iPlanet web server executes AuthTrans functions in the order that they are listed in the obj.conf file. The Oracle iPlanet server reads through the AuthTrans functions until it finds a function that returns a REQ_PROCEED command. Once a REQ_PROCEED command executes, no other AuthTrans functions are executed.

By default, SiteMinder is the first AuthTrans function and it returns a REQ_PROCEED. To allow other AuthTrans functions to execute, you need to add the EnableOtherAuthTrans parameter and set the value to yes.

The default value for this parameter is no. To enable multiple AuthTrans functions set the EnableOtherAuthTrans parameter to yes.

By adding this parameter, you permit the SiteMinder Web Agent to exist with other functions.

Be sure the SiteMinder Agent function is the first entry in the obj.conf file for the AuthTrans directive. The entry should read:

AuthTrans fn="SiteMinderAgent"
