Start and Stop SiteMinder SNMP Support

If you chose to install SiteMinder SNMP support when you installed the Policy Server, the SiteMinder SNMP Agent service should start automatically whenever the Policy Server initializes.

This section describes how to manually start and stop the SiteMinder SNMP subagent on Windows and UNIX Policy Servers.

  2. Type cd /etc/rc3.d
  3. Type sh SXXsnmpdx (S76snmpdx) start
