2 Fill in the fields:
Identity Server Cluster: Select the Identity Server you want the agent to trust for
authentication by selecting the configuration you have assigned to the Identity Server.
The option is used as the default, before you configure the agent.
Contract: Select the type of contract, which determines the information a user must supply for
authentication. By default, the Administration Console allows you to select from the following
contracts and options when specifying an authentication contract.
Name/Password - Basic: Specifies basic authentication over HTTP, using a standard
login pop-up provided by the Web browser.
Name/Password - Form: Specifies a form-based authentication over HTTP, using the
Access Manager login form.
Secure Name/Password - Basic: Specifies basic authentication over HTTPS, using a
standard login pop-up provided by the Web browser.
Secure Name/Password - Form: Specifies a form-based authentication over HTTPS,
using the Access Manager login form.
Any Contract: If the user has authenticated, allows any contract defined for the Identity
Server to be valid; or if the user has not authenticated, prompts the user to authenticate by
using the default contract assigned to the Identity Server configuration.
You can configure other contract types.
J2EE Application Server URL: Specify the URL to access the application server, including
the port. Select the format based on whether the agent is protected by a path-based or a domain-
based proxy service.
If the agent is protecting a path-based proxy service, specify the published DNS name of
the Access Gateway proxy service, including the path. For example:
http://j2ee.mycompany.com/j2ee
If the agent is protecting a domain-based proxy service, specify the published DNS name
of the Access Gateway proxy service. For example:
http://j2ee.mycompany.com
