Enable and Disable SiteMinder Agent Modules

After configuration, each SiteMinder Agent for IBM WebSphere is enabled and ready to communicate with the Policy Server to gather management information. When you disable a SiteMinder Agent module, it no longer performs its functions and these default to another configured implementation of the same module or the WebSphere native security mechanism.

Important: If the SiteMinder JACC Provider is configured, do not disable it – doing so prevents the WebSphere Application Server from starting.

To disable and enable SiteMinder Agent modules

1. Open the Agent appropriate configuration file in the ASA_HOME\conf directory for editing.
2. Set the EnableWebAgent parameter as follows:
   • To disable the module, set EnableWebAgent to No as follows:

     	EnableWebAgent="No"
     

   • To enable the module, set EnableWebAgent to Yes:

     	EnableWebAgent="Yes"
     

3. Save and close the file.

Note: The EnableWebAgent parameter applies to all of modules that use the Agent configuration file. For example, if you configured the Agent modules to use a single Agent configuration file, setting EnableWebAgent to yes enables all of Agent modules.
