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

The following agent objects are required:

• An agent object that protects resources.
• An agent object that supports SiteMinder 4.x functionality (described in the following steps).

The SharePoint connection wizard requires an agent object that supports 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. Log on to the SiteMinder Administrative UI.

   The relevant tabs for your administrator privileges appear.

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

   The Create Agent dialog appears.

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

   The Create Agent dialog appears.

4. Enter a name and an optional description.

   Note: Use a name that you can easily associate with the corresponding SharePoint Connection Wizard.

5. Select SiteMinder.
6. Select Web Agent from the drop-down list.
7. Enable 4.x functionality with the following steps:
   1. Select the Supports 4.x agents check box.

      The trust settings fields appear.

   2. Add the trust settings by completing 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 Create Agent Object task is submitted for processing and the confirmation message appears.
