Complete the Configuration on IIS

After you have configured the IBM HTTP server and the proxy plug-in, you make sure the proxy plugin-cfg.xml is in the right location and perform steps to configure an additional plugin file.

Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the plugin-cfg.xml as follows:
    1. Log in to the system where the web agent is installed.
    2. Create a folder with no spaces under the C: drive. For example: C:\plugin.
    3. Copy the plugin-cfg.xml file to the C:\plugin folder.
  2. Create a file called plugin-cfg.loc in the C:\plugin folder and add the following line into the file:

    C:\plugin\plugin-cfg.xml

  3. Download the Websphere Plugin installer from www.ibm.com to the system where WebSphere is installed.
  4. Go to the location of the WebSphere Plugin installer.
  5. Generate the iisWASPlugin_http.dll file by using this command:
    install is:javahome "c:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\Java
    

    Respond to the questions presented based on your configuration.

    When the wizard ends, the iisWASPlugin_http.dll file is saved in the C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugs\bin folder. Look for a 32-bit or 64-bit subfolder.

  6. Copy the iisWASPlugin_http.dll file to the C:\plugin folder on the system with the web agent.
  7. Create a virtual directory as follows:
    1. Open the IIS Manager.
    2. Right-click Default web sites.
    3. Click New virtual directory and supply these values:

      Alias: sePlugins (it is case-sensitive.)

      Path: c:\plugin

      Permission: Read + Execute (ISAPI or CGI)

  8. Add an ISAPI filter as follows:
    1. Right-click Default Web Site.
    2. Click properties.
    3. Click Add on the ISAPI filter tab.
    4. Supply these values:

      Filter name: sePlugins

      Executable: c:\plugin\ iisWASPlugin_http.dll

  9. Create a web service extension as follows:
    1. In IIS6 Manager, expand the computer name.
    2. Create a Web Service Extension and set it to allowed.

      Extension name: WASPlugin

      Path: C:\plugin\ iisWASPlugin_http.dll

    3. Right click each Web Service Extension to change it to Allowed Status.
  10. Restart the IIS Web server.

    In the master WWW service, ensure that the WebSphere plug-in (sePlugin) appears after the SiteMinder Web Agent plug-in and that the WebSphere plug-in started successfully.
