Single Sign-On Support in Custom Agents

When single sign-on support is enabled, custom agents can accept the SMSESSION single sign-on cookie created by a standard SiteMinder v4.x, v5.x, or v6.x Web Agent. To accept an SMSESSION cookie created by a custom agent, the standard agent must be upgraded as follows:

To enable a SiteMinder v4.x, v5.x, or v6.x standard agent with the appropriate QMR upgrade to accept SMSESSION cookies created by a custom agent, the standard agent's Agent configuration file (LocalConfig.conf with IIS servers or WebAgent.conf with other servers) or central configuration object (for v5.x or higher) must contain the following entry:

AcceptTPCookie="yes"

Set AcceptTPCookie as follows:

• With 4.xQMR4 agents and above, add AcceptTPCookie="yes" directly in the standard agent's Agent configuration file.
• With 5.xQMR1 agents and above, add the entry to the standard agent's Agent Configuration Object if the AllowLocalConfig parameter for that object is set to no. If AllowLocalConfig is set to yes, you can set AcceptTPCookie in the standard agent's Agent configuration file.
