This chapter covers installation of the policy agent for Varnish HTTP Accelerator 3.0.3.

Varnish is unlike the other policy agents supported for OpenAM. It does not require the Java environment necessary for the other policy agents, and it has a unique set of instructions for the agentadmin command. Varnish uses a directory called vmods. This is the location where you will need to handle any required installation or Varnish updates, and it requires the user to have administrative rights to update this directory for changes to take effect. You can also configure your Varnish instance using the Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) file.
