    Question:

     

    I'm running ASA Agent for WebLogic. I'm aware that the ACO Parameters
    SSOZoneName and SSOTrustedZone aren't supported for this Agent. But
    from my reading, it seems I could modify the SMSESSION cookie prefix
    using the "SM_SSO_ZONE_NAME" JVM parameters. But how can I set this
    one on WebLogic ?


    Environment:


    ASA Agent 12.0 for WebLogic

     

    Answer:

     

    The SM_SSO_ZONE_NAME can be changed by setting a Java System Property
    in the WebLogic startup script. The value of the property is prefixed
    to Session to form the cookie name. To change the SM_SSO_ZONE_NAME
    you will need to Delete the provider then restore it after rebooting
    WebLogic:

     

    1. Log in to the WebLogic Console;
    2. On the left panel, click on Security Realms, then select the realm;
    3. Click on Providers tab, then click on SMIdentityAsserter;
    4. Go to Provider Specific and record User Name Mapper Attribute
       string, and SMIdentity Asserter Config File name, for use when you
       restore the provider;
    5. Go back to Providers tab, select SMIdentityAsserter, then click
       "Delete" and save it;
    6. Shutdown WebLogic server and edit the WebLogic start script. Add
       JVM option -DSM_SSO_ZONE_NAME=XY;
    7. Now start WebLogic and login to the Console;
    8. On the left panel, click on Security Realms, then select the realm;
    9. Click on Providers tab, click new;
       a. In the Name, give SMIdentityAsserter;
     
       b. In Type drop down list, choose SiteMinderIdentityAsserter. Then
          click OK;
     
       c. In Common tab, click on >> button, then both XYSESSION and X.509
          would be moved to the right list;
     
       d. Click on Provider Specific tab, fill User Name Mapper Attribute
          string and SMIdentity Asserter Config File with previously recorded
          value.
