Create a 4.x Agent Object for the SharePoint Connection Wizard

The SharePoint connection wizard requires an Agent Object that supports CA SiteMinder 4.x functionality. Define this agent object on your Policy Servers.

Important: Do not add the 4.x agent object to any agent group, realm, or policy. This agent object exists only to support the internal operations of the Agent for SharePoint.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Infrastructure, Agent, Agents.
2. Click Create Agent.

   The Create Agent screen appears.

3. Click OK.

   The Create Agent: screen appears.

4. Enter a distinctive name and description.
5. Verify that the CA SiteMinder option button is selected and that Web Agent appears in the Agent Type drop-down list.
6. Click the Supports 4.x agents check box.

   The trust settings fields appear.

7. Complete the following fields:

   IP Address

   Specifies the IP Address of the Policy Server.

   Shared Secret

   Specifies a password that is associated with the 4.x Agent object. The SharePoint Connection Wizard also requires this password.

   Confirm Secret

   Confirms a password that is associated with the 4.x Agent object. The SharePoint Connection Wizard also requires confirmation of this password.

8. Click Submit.

   The agent object is created and a confirmation screen appears.
