Set Up the Policy Server for Version 4 Agents and RADIUS Agent Simulations

For Version 4 Agents and RADIUS Agent simulations, you must specify the IP address and port information of the Policy Server(s) used in the test. If you want to simulate a multiple Policy Server environment, you can specify how those Policy Servers operate.

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.

To set up Policy Server(s) for Version 4 Agent and RADIUS Agent simulations

1. Specify the following Policy Server options, as necessary:

   Policy Server

   Indicates whether you are specifying the primary or secondary Policy Server.

   IP Address

   Specifies the IP address of the Policy Server. By default, this field contains the IP address of the local system.

   Authorization, Authentication, and Accounting Ports

   Specifies the TCP ports used for authorization, authentication, and accounting requests. These fields are populated with the Policy Server’s default port numbers.

   Timeout

   Displays the time (in seconds) that the Test Tool should wait for a response from the Policy Server.

2. Select one of the following operation modes:

   Failover

   Enables failover. During failover, the Test Tool directs requests to the initial Policy Server. If the initial Policy Server fails, the Test Tool redirects requests to the secondary Policy Server.

   Round Robin

   Enables round robin load balancing. Round robin load balancing divides requests between the primary and secondary Policy Servers. For each connection, the Test Tool alternates between Policy Servers.

3. Click Connect to make sure that the Test Tool can connect to the Policy Server.

   If the Test Tool makes a connection, the IsProtected and DoManagement stop lights turn green.

Note: You must specify an Agent before testing the Policy Server connection.
