> # Configuring the SAE for External Plug-Ins (C-Web Interface)

> You need to configure SAE external plug-ins for SAE plug-in agents in the NIC, for Admission Control Plug-Ins, and for custom plug-ins developed in Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). For information about external plug-ins, see SRC PE Network Guide .

> When you use an external plug-in, you need to export its object reference to the SAE. When the SAE sends the first event to a registered plug-in, it resolves the object reference. In case of a failure, the SAE resolves the object reference again. In this case, if a plug-in restarts and instantiates a different object (that is, a different object reference), the SAE learns about the new object through the naming service or the file reference.

> You can configure the SAE to resolve the object reference and specify which attributes to send to the external plug-in.

> To configure an external plug-in:

> 1. Click Configure, expand Shared>SAE, and then expand the SAE group for which you want to configure a plug-in.
> 2. From the side pane, expand Configuration, and click Plug Ins.

>    The Plug Ins pane appears.

> 3. From the Create new list, select Name.
> 4. Type a name for the new plug-in in the dialog box, and click OK.

>    The plug-in appears in the side pane and in the Plug In pane.

> 5. From the side pane, expand the new plug-in, and then click External.
> 6. Click Create, enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
