Configure Agents and Register Your System as a Trusted Host

You can configure your SiteMinder Agent and register a trusted host immediately after installing the 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 SiteMinder Agent on your system.

To configure Agents and register a trusted host

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

   (Alternatively, navigate to SMAGENT_HOME\install_config_info and run ca-jbossagent-config.exe.)

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

   The SiteMinder Configuration Wizard starts.

2. Use gathered system and component information to configure the SiteMinder 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 SMAGENT_HOME\config. You can modify this file.
