Run the SOA Agent Configuration Wizard

Before you configure the SOA Agent, you may want to register the system where the Agent is installed as a trusted host; however, you can do this at a later time.

To configure a SOA Agent

  1. If necessary, start the SOA Agent Configuration Wizard.
  2. If necessary, start the SOA Security Manager Configuration Wizard. The default method is to select Start, Programs, CA, SOA Security Manager, SOA Security Manager Configuration Wizard. If you have placed the Wizard shortcut in a non-default location, the procedure will be different.

    Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with administrator permissions. Use these permissions even if you are logged in to the system as an administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SOA Security Manager component.

    Note: If you chose to configure the SOA Agent immediately after the installation, the installer automatically starts the Configuration Wizard.

  3. If you have registered the trusted host, skip to the next step. If not, select No in the Host Registration dialog box to skip registration, then click Next.

    To register the trusted host, refer to the installation chapter for your platform.

  4. Select the web server instances that you want to configure with SOA Agents.

    If you have already configured a server with a SOA or Web Agent and you are running the Configuration Wizard to configure additional web servers instances, the Wizard displays the Select One or More Instances to Overwrite dialog box. This dialog box lists the web servers that you have previously configured.

    1. Select one of the following:

      Overwrite—to overwrite the server instance configuration.

      Preserve—to preserve the web servers configuration.

      Important! If you uncheck a previously configured server, the Web Agent will be removed from this server.

    2. Click Next.
  5. In the Agent Configuration Object field, enter the name of the Agent Configuration Object for this web server instance, then click Next.

    This name must match an Agent Configuration Object already defined at the Policy Server. For example, enter IISDefaultSettings to use the default.

  6. In the Web Server Configuration Summary dialog box, confirm that the configuration settings are correct, then click Install.

    The SOA Agent files are installed.

  7. Click Done when the installation is complete.

    Note: You need to reboot the machine once the Agent is configured to ensure proper logging of Agent and trace messages.
