Policy Agent 2.2 Documentation Set
Other Policy Agent guides, besides this guide, are available as described in the following sections:
Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide
The Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide is available in two documentation sets: the Access Manager documentation set as described in Table P–1 and in the Policy Agent 2.2 documentation set as described in this section.
Other Individual Agent Guides
The individual agents in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set, of which this book is an example, are available on a different schedule than Access Manager itself. Therefore, documentation for Access Manager and Policy Agent are available in separate sets, except for Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide, which is available in both documentation sets.
The documentation for the individual agents is divided into two subsets: a web agent subset and a J2EE agent subset.
Each web agent guide in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set provides general information about web agents and installation, configuration, and uninstallation information for a specific web agent.
Each J2EE agent guide in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set provides general information about J2EE agents and installation, configuration, and uninstallation information for a specific J2EE agent.
The individual agent guides are listed along with supported server information in the following chapters of the Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User's Guide:
- Web Agents
- J2EE Agents
