Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0

Default Trust Behavior of Agent for Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 on Linux Systems

This section only applies when Access Manager itself is running SSL. By default, the agent installed on a remote Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 instance will trust any server certificate presented over SSL by the Access Manager host. The web agent does not check the root Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. If the Access Manager host is SSL-enabled and you want the agent to perform certificate checking, adhere to the guidelines as described in the following subsections:
