Author Connecting to Sun Access Manager on SSL

2006-03-17, 2:59 am

Hi All,

I am using websphere 5.0 with Sun Access Manager 6.3 (2005 Q1) which also connects to Sun One Directory Server 5.2. I installed Policy Agent for WAS 5.0 and the setup is working absolutely fine when AM (Access manager) is running on http. I enter my appli
cation url as http://something.com/myapp/index.jsp it is immediately redirected to http://amserver.com/amserver/UI/Login and redirected back to my application once I am authenticated (since I am using SSO_ONLY).

However, the moment I switch the AM setup to SSL, I am able to call the AM page by typing its URL in the browser (https://amserver.com/amserver/UI/Login). But when (after making the appropriate settings to the WAS Policy Agent props file) I try to call th
e application url on the WAS (for it to be intecepted and redirected to the AM running on SSL), i receive an HTTP 403 forbidden.

I am using a MS Cert Server and have created 2 CA certificates - one with my amserver.com in the subject and the other with the something.com (WAS) in the subject. I have installed the amserver.com CA certificate in the AM. and have imported the something
.com CA certificate into WAS using ikeyman.

Stil that did not work. I even imported the CA certificate into the cacerts key db which resides in java_home/lib/security - however, that didnt work either. I am constantly receiving a 403 error. However, the moment I switch to http for Access Manager, t
he setup works fine.

I am sure it is something to with my certificates not being installed properly. Can somebody please guide me? ANY help would be appreciated.
