Configuring Workspace to Use SiteMinder

If you are using SiteMinder with TIBCO Workspace, you must configure Workspace not to display the Workspace login page if the user is already authenticated by SiteMinder, and to perform authentication using SiteMinder instead of LDAP.

Procedure

  1. Open the config.xml file.
    For information about how this file should be opened (that is, via the Configuration Administrator or via the file system), see the "Introduction" section in the TIBCO Workspace Configuration and Customization guide.
  2. Locate the authenticationMode record.
  3. Ensure that the mode attribute has the value useSessionByDefault to hide the Workspace login page if the user is already authenticated. For example: 
    <record jsxid="authenticationMode" mode="useSessionByDefault">
  4. Ensure that the useLDAP attribute has the value false to perform authentication using SiteMinder. For example: 
    <record jsxid="authenticationMode" useLDAP="false">
  5. Save and close the config.xml file.
