Compatibility With Access Manager 7.1 and Access Manager 7 2005Q4

Access Manager 7.1 and Access Manager 7 2005Q4 are compatible with version 3.0 policy agents. However, because Access Manager 7.1 and Access Manager 7 2005Q4 do not support centralized agent configuration, a version 3.0 agent deployed with Access Manager must store its configuration data locally in the OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties and OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties files. The OpenSSOAgentBootstrap.properties file contains the information required for the agent to start and initialize itself.

A version 3.0 agent automatically detects the host server it is accessing. In the case of Access Manager 7.1 or Access Manager 7 2005Q4, a version 3.0 agent will switch to “local” mode and use the properties from the agent's OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties file.

Coexistence With Version 2.2 Policy Agents

OpenSSO Enterprise supports both version 3.0 and version 2.2 agents in the same deployment. The version 2.2 agents, however, must continue to store their configuration data locally in the AMAgent.properties file. And because the version 2.2 agent configuration data is local to the agent, OpenSSO Enterprise centralized agent configuration is not supported for version 2.2 agents. To configure a version 2.2 agent, you must continue to edit the agent's AMAgent.properties file.
