Guidelines for Modifying Configuration Files

• Do not add extra spaces between these elements of the parameter settings: parameter name, the equal sign (=), and the attribute value.
• Always enter quotation marks around the parameter value.
• Restart the WebSphere Application Server after you have updated and saved configuration files, such as AsaAgent-module.conf and SmHost.conf.

  You do not have to restart the WebSphere Application Server after you have updated and saved configuration objects, such as the Agent Configuration Object or the Host Configuration Object. However, the changes are not applied until the SiteMinder Agent polls the Policy Server (the default poll interval is 30 seconds).
