Configure the SNMP Agent on Windows

Follow these steps:

1. Be sure that the NETE_PS_ROOT environment variable is set to the CA SiteMinder® installation directory. The Policy Server installation program should have already done this.
2. Open siteminder_home\config\snmp.conf file and edit the last row to contain the full path to siteminder_home\log\snmp.log.

   Note: You only need to do this if you did not specify the Policy Server installation program to automatically configure SNMP.

   Correct example: LOG_FILE=C:\Program Files\Netegrity\siteminder\ log\snmp.LOG

   Incorrect example: LOG_FILE=$NETE_PS_ROOT\log\snmp.log

3. Edit the windows_dir/java_service.ini file.

   Note: You only need to do this if you did not specify the Policy Server installation to automatically configure SNMP.

   1. Set SERVICE_BINARY_NAME to the full path name of JavaService.exe.

      Example: SERVICE_BINARY_NAME=c:\winnt\JavaService.exe

   2. Set WORKING_DIR to the full path to directory siteminder_home\bin:

      Example: WORKING_DIR=C:\Program files\Netegrity\siteminder\bin

   3. Set JRE_PATH to the full path of javaw.exe.
4. Run siteminder_home\bin\thirdparty\proxyreg.exe to change the registry keys for the apadll.dll and snmp.conf:

   proxyreg.exe full_path_for_apadll.dll full_path_for_snmp.conf
   

   Important! Before running a CA SiteMinder® utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command-line window with administrator permissions. Open the command-line window this way, even if your account has administrator privileges.

   Example: proxyreg.exe "c:\program files\netegrity\siteminder\ bin\ thirdparty\apadll.dll" "c:\programfiles\netegrity\ siteminder\ config\ snmp.conf"

5. Run WINNT dir/JavaService.exe with the -install option, to register the Netegrity SNMP agent as a WINNT service.
6. Start the Netegrity SNMP agent by using the Windows Services dialog box.
7. Restart the SNMP service.
