Create an Agent Configuration Object for your SharePoint Resources (r12.0 SP2)

The SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint uses its own type of Agent Configuration Object to protect the SharePoint resources. This SharePoint Agent Configuration Object contains the settings used by SiteMinder to manage your SharePoint protection. To properly protect and allow access to your SharePoint resources, this Agent Configuration object requires the following settings:

• The value of the DefaultAgentName parameter contains the name of the Agent Object associated with the protected SharePoint resources.
• The value of the AgentName parameter contains the name of the Agent Object associated with the unprotected SharePoint resources.
