    Have you set the SM configuration on CA API gateway .

    Set this and then you can check protected resource

    Hi Ronald,

    Reply: Have you set the SM configuration on CA API gateway ?-- Yes we have set it up already.

    I am able to do the following operations using the CA Single-Sign-on assertions:

    • Check Protected resource
    • Authenticate the user (using username + password / existing smsession)
    • Authorize the user using an existing single-sign-on smcontext.
    How can we check whether smsession is a valid one or not?

    Basically if Authenticate against CA Single Sign On passes meaning your SM session is valid 
    siteminder.response.attribute.headerVar.siteminder.SESS_DEF_REASON will usually Returns the reason for an authentication or authorization failure (if failure occurred).

    I can't think of anything else that need to be done as part of verification during the integration.
