Install the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint

The SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint requires that a SiteMinder Web Agent is installed on each web server where SharePoint operates.

If you are installing the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint on a SharePoint server farm, note the following:

• Verify that all servers in the server farm are running.
• Start by installing the Agent for SharePoint on the primary server in the farm first.
• Continue by installing the Agent for SharePoint on all the secondary servers in the farm.

To install the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint

1. Gather the information required by the installation wizard.
2. Verify that the following (Windows) service is running on your web server:

   Windows SharePoint Services Administration
   

3. Copy the following file to your web server:

   ca-sp-version-operating_environmentprocessor_type.exe
   

   version

   Indicates the version of the SiteMinder component.

   Example: 12.0

   operating_environment

   Indicates an abbreviation that represents the operating environment on which the file runs.

   Example: win represents Microsoft Windows

   processor_type

   Indicates a two-digit number that corresponds the type of processor that is compatible with the file.

   Example: 32 corresponds to 32-bit processors

   Note: Some products (such as the SiteMinder Web Agent) have separate files for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the product. Other products (such as the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint) use a single file labeled 32-bit for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. See the Platform Support matrix on http://ca.com/support to determine if your product supports a 64-bit operating environment.

4. Double-click the file.

   The installation wizard starts.

   Important! Do not click Cancel after the installation process starts (while the progress indicator appears in the wizard). If you decide to change a setting, wait for the wizard to finish. Remove the Agent for SharePoint, and then install the Agent for SharePoint again.

5. Follow the prompts from the wizard to complete the installation.

   The SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint is installed.
