Before you configure the Agent, you may want to register the system where the Agent is installed as a trusted host; however, you can do this at a later time.
To configure an IIS Web Agent
The default method is to select Start, Programs, SiteMinder, Web Agent Configuration Wizard. If you have placed the Wizard shortcut in a non-default location, the procedure will be different.
Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.
Note: If you chose to configure the Web Agent immediately after the installation, SiteMinder automatically starts the wizard automatically.
If you have already configured a server with a Web Agent and you are running the Configuration Wizard to configure additional web servers instances, the Wizard displays the Select One or More Instances to Overwrite dialog box. This dialog box lists the web servers that you have previously configured.
Overwriteto overwrite the server instance configuration.
Preserveto preserve the web servers configuration.
Important! If you uncheck a previously configured server, the Web Agent will be removed from this server.
This name must match an Agent Configuration Object already defined at the Policy Server. For example, enter IISDefaultSettings to use the default.
A servlet engine is required to run Self Registration. If the Web Agent Configuration Wizard does not detect a servlet engine, the Select Servlet Engine for Registration dialog box is not displayed.
If you selected Yes to configure Registration Services:
The user name and password that you enter here must match the DMS Admin values you set at the Policy Server.
The DMS Administrator account secures DMS requests that are performed outside of the scope of a DMS administrator, such as self-registration. The user name and encrypted password for the account are stored in the dms.properties file on the Web Agent.
The Web Agent files are installed.
Example: C:\Program Files\CA\webagent\bin\IIS
Note: You need to reboot the machine once the Agent is configured to ensure proper logging of Agent and trace messages.
