IBM HTTP Server Preparations

Apache-based IBM HTTP servers require the following preparations before installing a CA SiteMinder® agent:

• Verify write permissions exist for the server logs.

Enable Write Permissions for IBM HTTP Server Logs

If you install the CA SiteMinder® Agent on an IBM HTTP Server, this web server gets installed as root and its subdirectories do not give all users in all groups Write permissions.

For the Low Level Agent Worker Process (LLAWP) to write agent initialization messages to the web server logs, the user running the web server needs permission to write to the web server’s log directory. Ensure that you allow write permissions for this user.
