Register a Trusted Host Using the Registration Tool
When you install a SiteMinder Agent on a server for the first time, you are prompted to register that server as a trusted host. Once the trusted host is registered, you do not have to reregister with subsequent Agent installations.
There might be situations when you want to register or reregister a trusted host independent of an Agent installation, such as the following:
- You chose not to register the trusted host during Agent installation
- You must change the FIPS mode the SiteMinder Agent and Policy Server use to exchange information
- To rename the trusted host if there has been a change to your SiteMinder environment
- To reestablish a trusted host if the trusted host has been deleted in the Administrative UI
- To recreate policy objects if the trusted host policy objects have been deleted from the policy store or the policy store has been lost
- To change the shared secret that secures the connection between the trusted host and the Policy Server
- To recreate the SmHost.conf configuration file if it is lost
- To overwrite an existing trusted host without deleting it first
