Symantec Access Management

Where can I find the latest platform support matrix for web agents 32 and 64-bit? I do not see them listed in CA Single Sign-On 12.6 pdf. They used to be added into SiteMinder 12.5x support matrix.

Hi,

In R12.6.x release there is no Web Agent, and this is why there is no information on the latest Platform Support Matrix regarding Web Agents. You can use Web Agents from earlier release (R12.52 SP1) which are supported, or Access Gateway which is released with R12.6.x

Please, find the R12.6.x announcement below:

Thank you. This answers my question.

Also does Access Gateway installer also installs Web Agent if needed even thought I will not be installing Proxy server?

Hi,

If I understood correctly your question, you would like to know if you could use Access Gateway to protect a resource as a Web Agent would do, as it is including an embedded Web Agent, is this correct?

If that is the question, the answer would be: yes. It depends on the environment and usage, but should work for most situations. You can check the following documentation with implementation and architecture details:

Using CA Access Gateway as a Web Agent Replacement - CA Single Sign-On - 12.6.01 - CA Technologies Documentation 

CA Access Gateway Architecture Introduced - CA Single Sign-On - 12.6.01 - CA Technologies Documentation 

Integrating CA Access Gateway with CA Single Sign-On - CA Single Sign-On - 12.6.01 - CA Technologies Documentation 

I hope it helps.

Yes that's correct. Thank you very much for your help and documentation.
