Enable the Agent to Work with Multiple AuthTrans Functions

AuthTrans functions are directives that initialize the Sun ONE Web Server. When a SAML Affiliate Agent is installed on a Sun ONE Web server, you can enable the Agent to operate with other AuthTrans functions. These functions are defined in the Web server’s obj.conf file.

The Web server executes AuthTrans functions in the order that they are listed in the obj.conf file. By default, the SAML Affiliate Agent is the first AuthTrans function (AuthTrans fn="SiteMinderAffiliate") and it returns a REQ_PROCEED. When the Sun ONE server reads finds a function that returns a REQ_PROCEED command, it executes this command; no other AuthTrans functions are executed.

To allow other AuthTrans functions to execute (for example, Oracle Application Server relies on an AuthTrans function to execute), set the EnableOtherAuthTrans attribute to yes. For example:

EnableOtherAuthTrans="yes"
