Configuring policy agent.

I have access manager running on some host,say zone1.com.Now i need to protect my app running in my localhost(sun App server8.1) using policy agent.Can help me out in configuring policy agent 2.2 which should use access manager at zone1 to protect my app at local?

It's recommended that you have a common domain suffix. Something like:accessmanager.zone1.comand:yourapplication.zone1.comOr, they may be in the same host. For testing purposes, just modify your /etc/hosts to reflect this naming scheme.

Hi,

you can not use "localhost" as you need a fully qualified domain name and the policy agent installer will not accept localhost as a host name. As someone mentioned just modify /etc/hosts file if on solaris or if on windows the hosts file maybe in C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/

For example in my winodws machine I modified the host file to use my.test.domain.com as an alias for localhost, then I used my.test.domain.com as the host name for the access manager and the agent. So my host file had this line

127.0.0.1localhost my.test.domain.com

Also, if you are running the policy agent and the access manager server on the same machine, then you should create some new app server domains and run the policy agent in one domain and the access manager server in another domain.

hth,

Make sure to have HOSTNAME.domain.com. If your cookie domain doesn't have two dots, (like .domain.com), you'll start running into interesting problems.Ankush
