Configuring Network Edge Authentication with a SiteMinder-Protected Web Service

Configure the SMSESSION cookie for Network Edge authentication to a SiteMinder Web service.

Network Edge authentication for SiteMinder requires the Web service endpoint to be changed in Sybase Control Center to use the SMSESSION cookie for single sign-on. By default, the application connection template is configured with the server name set to your SiteMinder-protected server.

  1. In the left navigation pane, select Cluster, then expand Domains, and select the domain for which you want to create a new connection.
  2. Select Connections.
  3. In the right administration pane, select the Connections tab.
  4. Select the EIS connection pool that is a Web service connection for the SiteMinder-protected service, and click Properties.
  5. In the Edit Connection Pool pane, configure these properties:
    Property Value
    credential.a.mapping Cookie:SMSESSION
    credential.a.name SMSESSION
  6. Click Save.
