Information Specific to the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

• Support of Lotus Domino Database With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

• No Support of CDSSO With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

• Support of Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

The IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 agent and the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 agent use the same agent binaries. However, in terms of deploying the agent, certain aspects differ between these two versions of IBM Lotus Domino. For example, the supported platforms and specific instructions can differ. Therefore, information about these two versions of IBM Lotus Domino are presented in two different guides. For information specific to Lotus Domino 6.5.4, see Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4.

In this guide, you might see file or directory names that include the string domino6. Such references to domino6 are correct, even though you are installing the agent on IBM Lotus Domino 7.0.

Support of Lotus Domino Database With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

You can configure the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 agent to check if each user name that the agent authenticates exists in the Lotus Domino directory. A simple configuration step is required, which involves editing the web agent AMAgent.properites configuration file as described in All Systems: Using the Lotus Domino Database for the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent.

No Support of CDSSO With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

The version 2.2 for IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 agent does not support cross domain single sign-on (CDSSO). The IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 deployment container does not allow the agent to change the method type from POST to GET, which is necessary for cross domain single sign-on.

Support of Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) With the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 Agent

This technology for passing user authentication information between servers is supported by the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 agent. For information on which properties in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file affect the configuration of this technology, see Configuring Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 with Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA).
