Web Policy Agents 5.9.1

Notifications

AM sends the following notifications to Web Agent through WebSockets:

Configuration notifications

When the administrator makes a change to a hot-swappable agent configuration property, AM sends a notification to the agent to reread the agent profile from AM.

Configuration notifications apply when the agent profile is stored in AM’s configuration data store.

For more information about the cache, see Configuration Cache.

Session Notifications

When a client logs out, or a CTS-based session expires, AM sends a notification to the agent to remove the client’s entry from the session cache.

For more information about the cache, see Session and Policy Decision Cache.

Policy Notifications

When an administrator changes a policy, AM sends a notification to the agent to flush the session and policy decision cache, and the policy cache.

For more information about the cache, see Session and Policy Decision Cache and Policy Cache.

In configurations with load balancers and reverse proxies, make sure that the load balancers and reverse proxies support WebSockets.

The AM advanced server configuration property, org.forgerock.openam.notifications.agents.enabled, controls whether the AM server sends notifications to connected agents. This property is enabled by default.
