How to disable a credential collector

Products

• SITEMINDER

Issue/Introduction

For additional security, the customer wanted to disable credential collectors. 

Environment

Applicable to Web Agents

Cause

For the .fcc files, moving or deleting the files is sufficient. However other credential collectors like .ntc are virtual, so there is nothing to delete or move.

Resolution

Use the ACO parameter, FCCExt, to set the extention of the credential collector to null.

Ex.

NTCExt = ""

*Note - make sure to use double quote and not leave it blank. When it is blank it will revert to using the default extension, .ntc.
