Start the Web Agent

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

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

To start the web agent

1. Open the following file with a text editor:

   web_agent_home\bin\IIS\WebAgent.conf
   

   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

2. Locate the EnableWebAgent parameter, and then change its value to yes.
3. Save and close the WebAgent.conf file.
4. Restart the IIS web server (the server itself, not the computer on which it operates).

   The web agent starts and the resources on the web server are protected.
