Register Your System as a Trusted Host on UNIX

A trusted host is a client computer where one or more SiteMinder Web Agents can be installed. The term trusted host refers to the physical system.

To establish a connection between the trusted host and the Policy Server, you need to register the host with the Policy Server. After registration is complete, the registration tool creates the SmHost.conf file. After this file is successfully created, the client computer becomes a trusted host.

Note: You only register the host once, not each time you install and configure a Web Agent on your system.

You can register the trusted host immediately after installing the Web Agent or at a later time; however, you must perform the registration at some point.

You can run the Registration Tool independently from GUI or Console mode.
