Install the SiteMinder Documentation

You install the documentation separately using nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-win32.exe because it is not installed by default with the Policy Server. We recommend that you install the documentation before the Policy Server.

To install the SiteMinder documentation

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Download the installation kit from the Technical Support site and extract it to a temporary location.
3. Double–click nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-win32.exe.

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

4. In the Introduction dialog, read the welcome message and click Next.
5. Read the Software License Agreement, accept the terms if you agree and click Next.

If you have installed the documentation after installing the Policy Server, create the netegrity_docs virtual directory on the web server. This directory lets you view the documentation using the Policy Server User Interface. You can run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create the directory or you can manually create it for IIS 5.0/6.0.
