To Create a New Group

Create a group if you want agents to inherit specific properties from the group. Agents can inherit properties only from their group type. For example, Web agents can inherit properties from a web agent group.

  1. Click the Access Control tab.
  2. Click the name of the realm to which the group will belong.
  3. Click the Agents tab.
  4. If necessary, select the tab for the appropriate agent type.
  5. In the Group section, click New.

    In the Name field, enter the name for the new group name.

  6. For Web agents and J2EE agents only, enter the OpenSSO Server URL.

    For example, http://OpenSSO_EnterpriseHost.example.com:8080/OpenSSO.

  7. Click Create.

    The Console creates the agent group and displays the agent page again, with a link to the group.

    To do additional configuration of the group, click this link to display the Edit agent group page.

    The properties you can set to configure a group are the same as they are for an individual agent except that the Group, Password, and Password Confirm properties are not available at the group level.


    Note – Also, be aware that some group properties already have variable values assigned that in most cases should not be changed. The following is one example of such a value:

    @AGENT_PROTO@://@AGENT_HOST@:@AGENT_PORT@/amagent
