Configuring monitoring of endpoint with single sign-on (SSO) configured

To enable monitoring to monitor and endpoint with single sign-on, specify the endpoint and custom HTTP headers in your Monitoring configuration file. The headers you need to specify depend on the SSO product you use.

Procedure

  1. Open the Monitoring Agent configuration file, cd_monitor_conf.xml in a plain-text editor or XML editor:
    • On Content Manager, the file is located in the config\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME% (defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\).
    • On Content Delivery, the file is located in the config/ (.NET) or /classes (Java) subfolder if Content Delivery is running as a Web application, otherwise in the config subdirectory of your Content Delivery installation.
  2. Remove the comment tags around the following fragments:
    <HttpServiceHealthMonitor ServiceType="IIS" ServiceInstance="local" PollInterval="5m" TimeoutInterval="30s">
    	<Request URL="http://localhost/index.html" />
    	<Header Name="CustomerHeader1" Value="CustomValue1" />
    	<Header Name="CustomerHeader2" Value="CustomValue2" />
    	<Authentication Scheme="Basic" Username="myuser" Password="34!5!#2vf24g" />
    	<Response SuccessPattern="Welcome" />
    </HttpServiceHealthMonitor>
    <XmlHttpServiceHealthMonitor ServiceType="ContentManagerKernel" PollInterval="10m" TimeoutInterval="30s">
    	<Request URL="http://localhost/Library/Commands/WebGUIResponser.asp" />
    	<Header Name="CustomHeader" Value="CustomValue" />
    </XmlHttpServiceHealthMonitor>
  3. In both fragments, set the URL attribute of Request to the endpoint you are monitoring.
  4. In both fragments, configure the HTTP header(s) required by your SSO product, and set them to the correct values.
