Setting the Properties to Enable Single Sign-on in Communications Express With Access Manager

Open the uwc-deployed-path/WEB-INF/config/ uwcauth.properties file.

Modify the following Communications Express parameters in uwcauth.properties file to enable Access Manager Single Sign-on.

Parameter	Purpose
`uwcauth.identity`.`enabled`	Specifies whether Access Manager is enabled. Initially the value is set by the configuration wizard. Set the attribute to `true` to enable Access Manager. Set the attribute to `false` to disable Access Manager.
`uwcauth.identity.cookiename`	Specifies the cookie name used by Access Manager. The value of `uwcauth.identity.cookiename` should correspond to the value specified in Access Manager configurator. The default cookie name used by Access Manager is `iPlanetDirectoryPro`
`uwcauth.identity.binddn`	Specifies the complete DN of `amadmin`. For example: `uid=amAdmin, ou=People, o=siroe.example.com,` `o=example.com` Note: The `uwcauth.identity.binddn` and `uwcauth.identity.bindcred` values should correspond to the values entered when you install Access Manager. For example, `uwcauth.identity.binddn=uid=amAdmin, ou=People,` `o=siroe.example.com, o=example.com` and `uwcauth.identity.bindcred=password`.
`uwcauth.identity.bindcred`	Specifies the password of `amadmin`.
`uwcauth.http.port`	Specifies the port number that Communications Express listens to when Communications Express is configured on a non SSL port. The default port number is `80`.
`uwcauth.https.port`	Specifies the HTTPS port number that Communications Express listens to when Communications Express is configured on an SSL port. The default HTTPS port number is `443`
`identitysso.singlesignoff`	Specifies the single sign-off status. If set to `true` the logout destroys the Access Manager session completely and all applications participating in this Access Manager session are signed out. If set to `false`, only the Communications Express session is destroyed and the user is taken to the URL configured in `identitysso.portalurl`. The default status is `true`.
`identitysso.portalurl`	Specifies the URL to which Communications Express must be redirected. If Access Manager is enabled and single sign-off is set to `false`, Communications Express is redirected to the URL assigned in `identitysso.portalurl`. By default Communications Express is redirected to `http://www.sun.com`.

Set the value of the parameter uwcauth.messagingsso.enable to false when you set up Communications Express for Access Manager Single sign-on.

Communications Express will now use the Access Manager’s Single sign-on mechanism for obtaining valid user sessions.
