Login page not served from Access Gateway/Agent for SharePoint

• CA Single Sign On Secure Proxy Server (SiteMinder)

Issue/Introduction

 We are trying to integrate the SiteMinder with SharePoint using the R12.52 SP1 Agent for SharePoint. When we hit the URL, it is now being redirected to login.fcc. We tried deploying our login.fcc (/login/forms/login.fcc) under htdocs in access gateway. But we are able to see only the code of .fcc
We tried modifying the authentication scheme in the policy to use the default login.fcc (siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc). This is still not working.

 

Please let us know how to resolve this issue.

Environment

Release : 12.52

Component : CA SITEMINDER AGENT FOR SHAREPOINT

Cause

The R12.x CA Access Gateway and R12.52 SP1 Agent for SharePoint do not install the FORMS into the "Default" directory for SiteMinder Authentication Schemes.

The default directory for Agent Forms is: 

installation_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\siteminderagent\forms

While the R12.x Access Gateway and R12.52 SP1 Agent for SharePoint "standard" directory for Agent Forms is:

install_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\forms

Resolution

Non-Standard Location for Forms Login Pages Directory

The default installation directory for the forms login pages (.fcc pages) is different from the standard web agent folder structure. The R12.x CA Access Gateway/R12.52 SP1 Agent for SharePoint installation program puts all the forms in the following standard directory:

install_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\forms

To use forms authentication with the CA Access Gateway/Agent for SharePoint, do one of the following steps:

1. Copy the sample form that you want to use to the standard agent directory.

installation_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\siteminderagent\forms

2. Configure the forms authentication scheme to use the standard agent directory instead of the default location.

The standard directory is: 

installation_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\forms

Customer was able to create the 'siteminderagent' directory under the 'installation_directory\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\examples\' directory, and then copy the 'forms' directory into this directory to allow the FORMS to be served.
