Enabling applets to run on IBM Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL

If you are using IBM Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL to manage and protect your Web-based information resources, you must configure WebSEAL to enable product applets, such as the configuration item (CI) topology, to be displayed.

About this task

WebSEAL is an IBM security product that allows the administration to proxy and secure internal Web sites based on access control settings defined in IBM Tivoli Access Manager. In this task, you configure WebSEAL to filter the response from the backend server when you perform an operation that requires the display of an applet.

Procedure

Perform these steps to configure WebSEAL for applet displays:

  1. Open the webseald.conf file.
  2. In the [script-filtering] stanza, specify the following filter option:

    script-filter=yes

  3. In the [filter-content-types] stanza, add the following types:

    type=text/html
    type=text/vnd.wap.wml
    type=text/xml
    type=text/*

  4. In the [filter-url] stanza, add the following line:

    PARAM=VALUE

    Note: The list in the [filter-url] stanza is in alphabetical order. Therefore, make sure that you add the new line in alphabetical order, as follows:

    OBJECT=USEMAP
    PARAM=VALUE
    Q=SITE

  5. Save the webseald.conf file, and restart the WebSEAL instance.
