Restrict Changes to Local Configuration Parameters

With central agent configuration, you can restrict the configuration parameters that can be set by a local web server administrator. You may want to do this if the SiteMinder administrator in your organization is not the same person who is responsible for the web server where the SiteMinder Agent is installed.

To restrict changes to local configuration parameters

1. Log into the Administrative UI.

   The Welcome screen appears.

2. Click the Infrastructure, Agent Configuration.

   A list of agent configuration tasks appears.

3. Click Modify Agent Configuration.

   The search window appears.

4. (Optional) Fill out the search form to narrow your search criteria.
5. Click Search.

   A list of Agent Configuration objects appears.

6. Click the radio button on the left of the Agent Configuration Object you want. Click Select.

   The Edit Parameter dialog appears.

8. Change the text in the Value field to yes, and then click the Multi-value radio button.
9. Click Add.

   An empty field appears.

10. Type the name of the parameter to which you want to allow access in the field. Only those parameters in the list can be changed locally.
11. (Optional) Repeat Steps 9 and 10 to add more parameters.
12. Click OK.

    The Edit Parameter dialog closes, and the Modify Agent Configuration dialog appears.
