Use the isamcfg tool

The isamcfg tool is deprecated. The configuration API invoked on a reverse proxy is used instead. Various features of Advanced Access Control can be configured with the isamcfg tool. The isamcfg tool helps automate configuration of the following software and appliances:

• WebSEAL
• ISAM appliance
• Security Verify Access for Web appliance
• Security Verify Access for Web software version
• Security Web Gateway appliance

The tools helps with:

• Create a junction that points to the Advanced Access Control runtime endpoint.

• Create an ISAM POP used by Advanced Access Control to attach a policy.

• Configure the instance of the appliance that supplies the web function, such as WebSEAL, with the instance of the appliance that provides the authorization server for Advanced Access Control.

• Configure SSL, sets up key stores, trust stores, and authentication configuration between Advanced Access Control and the web function.

• Configure a set of default obligation-to-URL mappings for the authentication service.

• Modify the ISAM appliance authentication configuration to support the authentication service.

If we are upgrading, see the installation instructions in the IBM Knowledge Center.

If we are upgrading from a previous version of the product, run the isamcfg tool to unconfigure the current version. Then, run the isamcfg tool to configure the new version.
