Prerequisites

You must have set up SiteMinder device driver installation (using the Configure Third-Party Driver wizard) and Shared Resource installation for SiteMinder.

Procedure

  1. On the machine on which ActiveMatrix BPM is running, run TIBCO Configuration Tool:

    TIBCO_HOME\bpm\n.n\bin\tct

    where TIBCO_HOME is the directory into which ActiveMatrix BPM is installed and n.n is the ActiveMatrix BPM version number.

  2. In the TIBCO Configuration Folder dialog, ensure that an appropriate folder is selected, and click OK.
  3. In the Create new configurations dialog, click Edit TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance.
    The Edit TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Instance wizard is started.
  4. On the Welcome page, ensure that the correct environment name and application name are displayed. In the Edit Action to be Performed list, ensure that Edit AMX-BPM Application is selected.
  5. On the Administrator Server Configuration page, ensure that the details are correct, and click Next.
  6. On the Select Edit Configurations page, select the Edit the type of authentication used by AMX-BPM check box, then click Next.
  7. On the Authentication Configuration page, select SiteMinder. If you want to allow web clients to log in using username and password as well, select the Allow also basic username authentication check box. Click Next.
    The SiteMinder option is only provided if you set up SiteMinder device driver installation (see "Configure Third-Party Driver Wizard" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Installation and Configuration guide).

    Field Description
    Agent Name The name of the SiteMinder Wb-Agent (configured on the SiteMinder installation) that will filter authentication requests.
    Client IP Address The IP address of the machine on which the Shared Resource will be installed. This is the client that will contact the SiteMinder service.
    Configuration File Options
    Selected Configuration File Type Identifies the location of the SiteMinder-generated host configuration file, from which the remaining configuration properties will be taken. Choose between:
    • System Specific Default Location

      If the SiteMinder installation is on the same machine as the Shared Resource installation.

    • Custom File Location

      If the configuration file has been copied to the same machine as the Shared Resource installation.

    • Generated

      If the configuration file is not available but the properties are known. Creates a local file at a given location.

    The following properties assume Generated has been selected. These values will be available from your SiteMinder installation.
    Configuration File Name The name (without path) of the file that will be generated to record the property values. You can use any name.
