Add the SiteMinder ISAPI Filter to the IIS 7.0 Web Site for your Extended SSP

To run a SiteMinder Web Agent for SharePoint on IIS 7.0, add a SiteMinder ISAPI filter to each SharePoint resource you want to protect on the IIS 7.0 web server. This filter executes the Web Agent ISAPI scripts and other files. Place it before any other ISAPI filters on the web server.

To add the Agent ISAPI filter

  1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

    Note: If the User Account Control dialog appears, click Continue.

  2. In the Connections pane, expand the web server.

    A Sites folder appears.

  3. Expand the Sites folder, and then click the SharePoint web site you want to protect with SiteMinder.
  4. Under the IIS section, double-click the ISAPI Filters icon.

    A list of the installed ISAPI Filters appears.

  5. In the Actions pane, click Add.

    The Add ISAPI Filter dialog appears.

  6. In the Filter Name field, type a name for the ISAPI Filter. We recommend using a name that is easy to recognize, such as "SiteMinder ISAPI Filter."
  7. Click the ellipsis button (to the right of the Executable field).

    The Open dialog appears.

  8. Navigate to the following file: 
    web_agent_home\bin\ISAPI6WebAgentDLL
    web_agent_home

    Specifies the directory where the SiteMinder Web Agent is installed.

    Default: (r6.x SP6): C:\Program Files\netegrity\webagent

    Default: (r12.0 SP2): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent

  9. Click Open.

    The ISAPI6WebAgentDLL.dll file appears in the Add ISAPI Filter dialog.

  10. Click OK.

    The Add ISAPI Filter dialog closes and the ISAPI filter appears in the list.

  11. In the Actions pane, click View Ordered List.
  12. Right-click the SiteMinder ISAPI filter in the list, and then select Move up. Repeat this step until the SiteMinder ISAPI filter is at the top of the list.

    The Agent ISAPI filter is added.

  13. Repeat Steps 3 through 12 for each SharePoint web site you want to protect with SiteMinder.
