Deploying the policy agent sample application is optional. However. after you install the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server agent, consider deploying the sample application to help you better understand the key features, functions, and configuration options of Java EE agents, including:
Single sign-on (SSO)
Web-tier declarative security
Programmatic security
URL policy evaluation
Session, policy, and profile attribute fetch
The sample application can be especially useful if you are writing a custom agent application.
After you install the WebSphere Application Server/Portal Server agent, the sample application is available as:
PolicyAgent-base/sampleapp/dist/agentsample.ear
For information about compiling, deploying, and running the sample application, see the readme.txt file in the /sampleapp directory.
