Connect a Web Agent to a Dynamic Policy Server Cluster

You can connect a Web Agent to one or more dynamic Policy Server clusters by modifying the SmHost.conf file on your web server.

To connect a Web Agent to a dynamic Policy Server cluster

1. Open the following file with a text editor:

   web_agent_home\config\SmHost.conf
   

   web_agent_home

   Indicates the directory where the SiteMinder Agent is installed.

   Default (Windows 32-bit installations of SiteMinder Web Agents only): C:\Program Files\netegrity\webagent

   Default (UNIX/Linux installations): user_home_directory/netegrity/webagent

   Default (Windows 64-bit installations [SiteMinder Web Agents for IIS only]): C:\Program Files\netegrity\webagent\win64

   Default (Windows 32-bit applications operating on 64-bit systems [Wow64 with SiteMinder Web Agents for IIS only]): C:\Program Files\netegrity\webagent\win32

2. Do one of the following tasks:
   • If this Web Agent has never been connected to dynamic cluster of Policy Servers before, create a
     line (anywhere in the file) with the following text:

     enableDynamicHCO="YES"
     

   • If this Web Agent has previously been connected to a dynamic cluster of Policy Servers, change the value of the existing enableDynamicHCO parameter from "NO" to "YES".
3. Save the SmHost.conf file, and then close the text editor.
4. Restart your web server.

   The Web Agent is connected to dynamic Policy Server clusters.
