Run the Web Agent Configuration Wizard

After gathering the information for your Web Agent Configuration worksheet, run the Web Agent Configuration wizard to create a Web Agent runtime instance for the web servers running on your computer.

Running the configuration wizard once creates a properties file. Use the properties file to run unattended configurations on other computers with same operating environment and settings.

To run the Web Agent Configuration wizard

1. Click Start, All Programs, CA, SiteMinder.

   A shortcut to the Web Agent Configuration wizard appears.

2. Right-click the shortcut, and then select Run as administrator.

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with administrator permissions. Use these permissions even if you are logged in to the system as an administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

   The Web Agent Configuration wizard starts.

3. Complete the wizard.

   Your SiteMinder Web Agent or Agent IIS is configured.
