Place your Agent Objects in Agent Groups

Use agent groups if you have many agent objects to simplify administration. Several agent objects can be added or removed from a policy simultaneously. For example, if you have multiple SharePoint and Agent for SharePoint servers then you can create agent groups for different categories and resources. This section describes how to create agent groups, but if you are an experienced SiteMinder user, you can use existing agent groups instead.

Follow these steps

1. Log on to the SiteMinder Administrative UI.

   The relevant tabs for your administrator privileges appear.

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

   The Create Agent Group pane opens.

3. Click Create a new object of type Agent Group, and then click OK.

5. Select SiteMinder.
6. Select Web Agent from the drop-down list.
