To Create an Agent Profile for Web Policy Agent 1

Create an agent profile in Access Manager to store authentication and configuration information that will be used by the policy agent to authenticate itself to Access Manager. Creating an agent profile also creates a custom user. The policy agent will, by default, use the account with the user identifier UrlAccessAgent to authenticate to Access Manager.

Creating an agent profile is not a requirement for web policy agents. You can use the agent's default values and not change the user name; however, in certain cases, you might want to change these default values. For example, if you want to audit the interactions between multiple agents and Access Manager, you want be able to distinguish one agent from another. This would not be possible if all the agents used the same default agent user account. For more information, see the Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 User’s Guide.
