To Add the Agent Filter to the IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 Administration Console

1. Ensure that the Administration instance of IBM WebSphere Application Server is stopped.

2. Locate the adminconsole/WEB-INF/web.xml file, which contains the deployment descriptors for the IBM WebSphere 6.0 Administration Console.

   The path to this web.xml file is:

   WAS-base/AppServer/systemApps/adminconsole.ear/adminconsole.war/WEB-INF/

   where WAS-base represents the directory where IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 was installed.

3. Backup the web.xml file.

   Because you will modify the deployment descriptor in the next step, creating a backup file at this point is important, especially if you need to uninstall the agent in the future.

4. Edit the web.xml file, as follows:

   <display-name>adminconsole</display-name>
   
   <filter id="Filter_PolicyAgent">
   <filter-name>Policy Agent</filter-name>
   <filter-class>
   com.sun.identity.agents.filter.AmAgentFilter
   </filter-class>
   </filter>
   
   ... //other filter definitions
   
   <filter-mapping id="FilterMapping_PolicyAgent">
   <filter-name>Policy Agent</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
   
   ... //other filter mappings
   
   </web-app>
