Managing a Version 3.0 Agent With a Local Configuration

By default, OpenSSO Enterprise stores version 3.0 policy agent configuration data (as well as server configuration data) in a centralized data repository. You manage this configuration data using these options:

• OpenSSO Enterprise Administration Console

  You can manage both version 3.0 J2EE and web agents from the OpenSSO Enterprise Console. Tasks that you can perform include creating, deleting, updating, listing, and displaying agent configurations. Using the Console, you can set properties for an agent that you previously set by editing the agent's AMAgent.properties file.

  For more information, refer to the Administration Console online Help.

• ssoadm command-line utility

  The ssoadm utility is the command-line interface to OpenSSO Enterprise server and is available after you install the tools and utilities in the openssoAdminTools.zip file. The ssoadm utility includes subcommands to manage policy agents, including:

  • Creating, deleting, updating, listing, and displaying agent configurations

  • Creating deleting, listing, and displaying agent groups

  • Adding and removing an agent to and from a group

  For information about the ssoadm utility, including the syntax for each subcommand, see the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference.
