Specify the IIS Proxy User

Configuring an IIS Web Agent requires that you configure the following settings in the Agent Configuration Object:

Note: If you plan to use the NTLM authentication scheme, or enable the Windows User Security Context feature, do not specify values for these IIS parameters.

• DefaultUserName

  Specifies the username of the IIS Proxy user.

• DefaultPassword

  Specifies the password of the IIS Proxy user.

The DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword identify an existing NT user account that has sufficient privileges to access resources on an IIS Web server protected by SiteMinder. When users want to access resources on an IIS Web server protected by SiteMinder, they may not have the necessary server access privileges. The Web Agent must use this NT user account, which is assigned by an NT administrator, to act as a proxy user account for users granted access by SiteMinder.
