Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Create a New Agent Profile

You can create a new agent profile using the OpenSSO Enterprise console. Some of the individual steps documented do not apply to all agent profile types.

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you are logged into the OpenSSO Enterprise console as the administrator; by default, amadmin.

  1. Under the Access Control tab, click the name of the realm in which you are creating the agent profile.

  2. Click the Agents tab.

  3. Select the tab for the appropriate agent type.

    • Web Agents

    • J2EE Agents

    • Web Service Provider Agents

    • Web Service Client Agents

    • STS Client Agent

    • 2.2 Agents

    • Agent Authenticator

  4. In the Agent section, click New.

    The STS Client agent profile displays a pop-up from which you choose the token agent type: Discovery or STS. For more information, see STS Client in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference.

  5. In the Name field, enter the name for the new agent profile.

  6. Enter and confirm the Password.

    Caution – Caution –

    For web policy agents only, this password must be the same password that you enter in the agent profile password file that you specify when you run the agentadmin program to install the agent.

    Steps 7–9 Apply to Web and J2EE policy agents only.

  7. For Web and J2EE policy agents only, configure using the following sub procedure.

    For other agent profile types, configure the attributes as documented in Chapter 5, Centralized Agent Configuration Attributes, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference.

    1. Select Local or Centralized configuration.

      When local configuration is selected, the properties related to this agent cannot be edited using the console. In such a scenario, the agent retrieves configuration data from the local (to the installed agent) OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties and OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties files in the agent installation directory. Property values for the locally configured agents are modified directly in the OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties file.

    2. In the Server URL field, enter the OpenSSO Enterprise server URL.

      For example:

      http://OpenSSO-Host.example.com:8080/OpenSSO

    3. In the Agent URL field, enter the URL for the agent application, agentapp.

      • For a web policy agent: http://Agent-Host.example.com:8090

      • For a J2EE policy agent: http://Agent-Host.example.com:8090/agentapp

  8. Click Create.

    The agent profile is created. To do additional configurations for the agent profile, click the profile name to display the Edit agent page. Agent attribute descriptions are listed and defined in Chapter 5, Centralized Agent Configuration Attributes, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference.
