Add the Agent ISAPI Filter to Additional Web Sites that you want to Protect with SiteMinder

To run a SiteMinder Web Agent on an additional (not the default) web site on IIS 7.0, add a SiteMinder ISAPI filter to each additional web site you want to protect. This filter executes the Web Agent ISAPI scripts and other files.

Note: These settings are added to the Default Web Site of the IIS web server automatically by the Web Agent Configuration wizard.

The following illustration shows a web site named "Example," which needs the ISAPI Filter added manually:

To add the agent ISAPI filter to additional web sites that you want to protect with SiteMinder

  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.

    The Sites folder appears.

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

    The ISAPI Filters screen appears.

  5. Under the actions pane, click Add.

    The Add ISAPI Filter dialog appears.

  6. Type a name for the 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\ISAPI6WebAgent.DLL
    
  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 SiteMinder ISAPI Filter appears in the list.

  11. Repeat Steps 3 through 10 to protect any other additional (non-default) web sites with SiteMinder.
