Agent Configuration Parameters Required by All Agents

All Agents must have a value set for the following parameter:

• DefaultAgentName

  Defines a name that the Web Agent uses when it receives a request on an IP address or interface for which there is no agent name specified in the AgentName parameter.

  If you are using virtual servers, you can set up your SiteMinder environment quickly by using a DefaultAgentName instead of defining a separate Web Agent for each virtual server.

  Important! If you do not specify a value for the DefaultAgentName parameter, you must list every agent identity in the AgentName parameter. Otherwise, the Policy Server will not be able to tie policies to the Web Agent.

  Default: No default

  Limits: Must contain 7-bit ASCII characters in the range of 32-127, and include one or more printable characters. Cannot contain the ampersand (&) and asterisk (*) characters. Not case-sensitive. For example, the names MyAgent and myagent are treated the same.

The value of the previous parameter entry must exactly match the name of an Agent object that you defined in the Administrative UI.
