Using Trusted Authentication to Connect to My webMethods Server

By default Command Central version 9.8 and higher uses SAML-based trusted authentication when connecting to My webMethods Server. You do not need to perform any operation to enable this functionality.

However, if you change the value of the Assertion Parameter Name field in the My webMethods Server administration web user interface, you must configure an additional Java parameter, MWS.SAML.paramname, in the custom_wrapper.conf file of the Platform Manager that manages the My webMethods Server run-time component. The MWS.SAML.paramname parameter specifies the changed Assertion Parameter Name value. For more information about setting the Assertion Parameter Name value, see Administering My webMethods Server.

To configure the MWS.SAML.paramname parameter in Platform Manager

1. Go to the Software AG_directory \profiles\SPM\configuration directory and open the custom_wrapper.conf file in a text editor.

2. Add the following parameter:

wrapper.java.additional.number=
-DMWS.SAML.paramname=assertionParameterName

where number is a unique sequential number depending on the already existing parameter numbers in the file, and assertionParameterName is the modified value of the Assertion Parameter Name field in the My webMethods Server administration user interface.

3. Save the file and restart Platform Manager.
