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 the Apache Web Agent
The default method is to select Start, Programs, SiteMinder, Web Agent Configuration Wizard. If you've 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.
To register the trusted host, go to the installation chapter for your platform.
If you installed the Agent on an Apache-based server, such as an IBM HTTP Server, or Oracle server, the Web Agent may not recognize the path. In this case, the Configuration Wizard displays the Apache Web Server Failure dialog box with the following options:
Select this option for an Apache web server and re-enter the root path.
Select this option if you are using an Apache-based web server (such as, IBM HTTP, HP Apache-based, or Oracle). You are prompted to enter the full configuration path to the web server root.
Choose this option to skip Apache configuration and continue with the Agent configuration.
Click Next.
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, to use the default enter ApacheDefaultSettings.
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 Self Registration:
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.
Apache_home\conf
where Apache_home is the installed location of the Apache web server.
When you run the Configuration Wizard for the Apache Web Agent, it makes changes to the Web Server's httpd.conf file and to the library path.
For httpd.conf changes to take effect, you need to restart the web server.
