Windows Prerequisites

SiteMinder SNMP support on Windows requires the SNMP service. For more information about installing the SNMP service, see the Windows online help system.

UNIX Systems Prerequisites

The following section details UNIX prerequisites for SNMP support:

Solaris

You need the native Solaris SunSolstice Master Agent, which comes with the operating system.

Linux

For the supported Master Agent on Red Hat Advanced Server 3.0, upgrade the net–snmp package to net-snmp-5.1-2.1 or greater.

To upgrade the net–snmp package to net-snmp-5.1-2.1 or greater, use the following setting in the snmpd.conf file for the net–snmpd command:

proxy -c public -v 1 localhost:8001 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2552

Note: After you upgrade the net–snmp package, add proxy support to the snmpd.conf file.

You can find the snmpd.conf file specific to CA SiteMinder® in the following location (The host usually has many snmpd.conf files):
