How to enable anonymous access to part of the website in SiteMinder

Question

We are using SiteMinder secure-proxy for our website. The problem is that some parts of our website require anonymous authentication. For example ClickOnce installer and some WCF services. I was looking into proxyrules.xml, hoping that I can do sominthing in nete:case, but it seems not to be the case. I would be very thankful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Once again here's what I need:

• / - sso
• /test/ - sso
• /wcf/ - anonymous

How can I make /wcf exclusion?

** UPDATE ** I have found IgnoreUrl parameter of my WebAgent, but for some reason it is not applied and I'm still asked for username and password

Answer 1

It was indeed the IgnoreUrl parameter I had to set. It wasn't working when I set it in the WebAgent configuration itself, but it did work when I set it via the SiteMinder Administrative UI.

Update: This reason for that is quite likely that the Agent Configuration object disallows local configurations of that kind via the AllowLocalConfig directive.
