Configuring an Agent for SSL offloading
You can configure a Java Agent for SSL offloading using either the AM admin UI or ssoadm:
- AM admin UI: navigate to: Realms > [Realm Name] > Applications > Agents > Java > [Agent ID] > Advanced > Alternate Agent URL > Alternative Agent Protocol and enter the required protocol (http or https).
- ssoadm: enter the following command: $ ./ssoadm update-agent -e [realmname] -b [agentname] -u [adminID] -f [passwordfile] -a com.sun.identity.agents.config.agent.protocol=[protocol]replacing [realmname], [agentname], [adminID], [passwordfile] and [protocol] with appropriate values.
When this is specified, the protocol part of the incoming request is overridden with the one specified here.
Note
You should specify this property if the agent sits behind an SSL/TLS offloader, a load balancer or a proxy, and the protocol used by users is different to the protocol used by the agent.
Example
For example, with the following settings:
Load balancer URL=http://lb.example.com:8080 com.sun.identity.agents.config.agent.protocol=httpsWhen a request is received, the agent overrides the protocol part of the incoming URL (http) with the protocol specified in com.sun.identity.agents.config.agent.protocol (https) and uses this for the goto parameter.
