Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4

Default Trust Behavior of Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

This section only applies when Access Manager itself is running SSL. By default, the agent installed on a remote IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance will trust any server certificate presented over SSL by the Access Manager host. The web agent does not check the root Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. If the Access Manager host is SSL-enabled and you want the agent to perform certificate checking, adhere to the guidelines as described in the following subsections:

Disabling the Default Trust Behavior of Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

The following property in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file controls the agent’s trust behavior, which by default it is set to true:

com.sun.am.trust_server_certs

With this property set to true, the web agent does not perform certificate checking. On Linux systems, enabling the web agent to perform certificate checking is a one-step process that only involves setting this property to false as illustrated in the following task.
