Configuring the Novell Vibe Server to Trust Access Gateway

To use Novell Vibe as a protected resource of an Access Gateway and to use Identity Injection for single sign-on, the Teaming server needs a trusted relationship with Access Gateway. With a trusted relationship, the Teaming server can process the authorization header credentials. The Teaming server accepts only a simple username (such as user1) and password in the authorization header.

This section explains how to set up the trusted relationship and how to enable simultaneous logout, so that when the user logs out of Teaming, the user is also logged out of Access Gateway.

To configure the trusted relationship:

  1. Log in to the Novell Vibe server.

  2. Stop the Teaming server with the following command:

    /etc/init.d/teaming stop

  3. Run the installer-teaming.linux script.

  4. Follow the prompts, then select Reconfigure settings.

  5. Follow the prompts, then select Advanced installation.

  6. Follow the prompts, selecting the defaults until the Enable Access Gateway option appears, then type Yes.

  7. In the Access Gateway address(es) section, include the IP address of Access Gateway that is used for the connection to the Teaming server.

    If Access Gateway is part of a cluster, add the IP address for each cluster member. Wildcards such as 164.99.*.* are allowed.

    When you specify IP addresses in this option, Novell Vibe logins are allowed only from the specified addresses. Also, if authorization header credentials are not present or are incorrect, the user is prompted for login by using Basic Authentication.

  8. When prompted for the Logout URL, specify the URL of the published DNS name of the proxy service plus /AGLogout.

    For example, if the published DNS name of the proxy service is vibe.doc.provo.novell.com, specify the following URL:

    https://Vibe.doc.provo.novell.com/AGLogout

  9. When you are prompted to use Access Gateway for WebDAV connections, specify No.

  10. Follow the prompts to complete the reconfiguration process.

  11. Start the Vibe server with the following command:

    /etc/init.d/teaming start
