Configure Agents and Register Your System as a Trusted Host on Windows

You can configure your SOA Agents and register a trusted host immediately after installing the SOA Agent or at a later time; however, the host must be registered to communicate with the Policy Server.

Note: You only register the host once, not each time you install and configure a SOA Agent on your system.

To configure Agents and register a trusted host

1. 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.

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

   The SOA Security Manager Configuration Wizard starts.

2. Use gathered system and component information to configure the SOA Agent and register the host.

   Note: If you choose to configure multiple Agents, you can set the Register with same Policy Server option to register them all with the same Policy Server.

When the wizard completes, the host is registered and a host configuration file, SmHost.conf, is created in agent_home\config. You can modify this file.

agent_home

Is the installed location of the SOA Agent.
