Configure Your Test Environment Agent

You can configure the Agent that the Test Tool simulates during a test in the SiteMinder Agent group box.

The Agent that the Test Tool simulates must be configured in the Policy Server User Interface.

To configure Agent information, specify the following options:

Agent Type

Specify one of the following Agent Types:

Version 4

Simulates SiteMinder 4.x Agents.

Version 5

Simulates SiteMinder 5.x Agents.

Note: If you want to use the Test Tool on a system to simulate a SiteMinder 5.x Web Agent, you must run the smreghost.exe application on the system where you will run the Test Tool. The smreghost.exe file is included with your Web Agent, and described in the SiteMinder Web Agent Installation Guide. The file is also located in <Policy Server install dir>/siteminder/bin.

Important! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with Administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has Administrator privileges. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

RADIUS

Simulates RADIUS devices.

Agent Name

Enter the name of the Agent as it appears in the Policy Server User Interface. This field is required for both Version 4 and Version 5 Agent simulations.

Secret

Enter the Agent’s shared secret. This must match the shared secret entered when the Agent was created. A Secret is required for Version 4 and RADIUS Agent simulations.

(Optional) Server

Enter the full name of the server on which the Agent resides. For example, to test the Policy Server for http://www.myorg.org, enter www.myorg.org in this field. This field may be used for Version 4 Agent simulations.

SmHost.conf Path

Enter the path to the SmHost.conf file that contains the settings for the Version 5 Agent you want to simulate. You can use the Browse button to search for the SmHost.conf file.
