Configure your agent parameters and then enable the agent to protect the resources on the web server.

Note: No resources are protected until you also define policies in the CA SiteMinder® Policy Server.

Follow these steps:

Open the WebAgent.conf file with a text editor.
Note: CA SiteMinder® 12.52 Agents for IIS installed on 64-bit Windows operating environments have two WebAgent.conf files. One file is associated with 32-bit Windows applications. The other file is associated with 64-bit Windows applications. Modify both WebAgent.conf files to start or stop the CA SiteMinder® Agent for IIS on all 32-bit and 64-bit applications on a particular IIS web server.
Change the value of the EnableWebAgent parameter to yes.
Save and close the WebAgent.conf file.
Restart the web server (the web server itself, not the computer on which it runs).
The Web Agent is enabled.

To stop the Web Agent from protecting the resources on your web server and stop communicating with the Policy Server, disable the Web Agent.
