Create Agent Objects for your SharePoint Resources (r12.0 SP2)

The SharePoint resources in your organization need at least two different Agent objects defined in the SiteMinder Administrative UI:

• One Agent object for the SharePoint resources you want to protect.
• One Agent object for the unprotected SharePoint resources, such as the SharePoint Central Administration web site.

To create Agent objects for your SharePoint resources

1. Click Infrastructure, Agent, Create Agent.

   The Create Agent dialog appears.

2. Verify that Create a new object of type Agent is selected, and then click OK.

   The Create Agent: Dialog appears.

3. Click the Name field, and enter a distinctive name for the Agent.

   We recommend using a name that you can easily associate with the corresponding SharePoint resources. For example, an Agent object associated with the protected SharePoint resources could be named "SP_Protected", and an Agent Object associated with the unprotected SharePoint resources, could be named, "SP_Unprotected."

4. (Optional) Click the Description field, and enter a description.
5. Click Submit.

   The Agent object is created and the confirmation screen appears.

6. Click OK.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 to create the second Agent object.
