To Add the Agent Filter to the WebSphere Portal Server 6.1 Application

1. Ensure that the WebSphere Portal Server 6.1 environment is down.

2. Locate the wps.war/WEB-INF/web.xml file, which contains the deployment descriptors for WebSphere Portal Server 6.1.

   WebSphere Application Server can read this file at runtime from either of the following directories:

   • WAS-base/wp_profile/installedApps/Cell-Name/wps.ear/wps.war/WEB-INF

   • WAS-base/wp_profile/config/cells/Cell-Name/applications/wps.ear/deployments/wps/wps.war/WEB-INF

   where:

   • WAS-base represents the directory where WebSphere Portal Server 6.1 was installed

   • Cell-Name represents the WebSphere Portal Server 6.1 cell protected by the agent. The default is hostname.

3. Backup the two web.xml files before modifying the deployment descriptors.

   Since you will modify the deployment descriptor in the next step, creating backup files is important, especially if you need to uninstall the agent in the future.

4. Edit both web.xml files from the previous step, as follows:

   <display-name>WebSphere Portal Server</display-name>
   
   <filter id="Filter_PolicyAgent">
   <filter-name>Policy Agent</filter-name>
   <filter-class>
     com.sun.identity.agents.filter.AmAgentFilter
   </filter-class>
   </filter>
   
   ... //other filter definitions
   
   <filter-mapping id="FilterMapping_PolicyAgent">
     <filter-name>Policy Agent</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
   
   ... //other filter mappings
   
   </web-app>
