ActiveMatrix BPM: SiteMinder Configuration

Note: This screen is only displayed if you selected SiteMinder as the Authentication Type on the Authentication Configuration screen. The name of the Shared Resource Instance must be amx.bpm.auth.siteminder.
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.
Trusted Host Name A trusted host is a client that is registered with the Policy Server and is, therefore, allowed to connect to the Policy Server. A unique name that represents the host to the Policy Server.
Host Configuration Object The name of the Host Configuration Object specified in the Policy Server. Names the object that holds parameters for a Trusted Host.
Shared Secret An automatically generated encryption key used for encrypting traffic between the trusted host and the Policy Server.
Policy Server The server IP address and port numbers for the Policy Server that the Trusted Host accesses.
