Enable a Web Agent

Configure your Web Agent parameters and then enable the Web Agent to protect the resources on the web server.

Note: No resources are protected until you also define policies in the SiteMinder Policy Server.

To enable a Web Agent

1. Open the WebAgent.conf file with a text editor.

   Note:SiteMinder r6.0 SP6 Agents for IIS installed on 64-bit Windows operating environments have two WebAgent.conf files. One file is associated with 32-bit Windows applications. The other file is associated with 64-bit Windows applications. Modify both WebAgent.conf files to start or stop the SiteMinder Agent for IIS on all 32-bit and 64-bit applications on a particular IIS web server.

2. Change the value of the EnableWebAgent parameter to yes.
3. Save and close the WebAgent.conf file.
4. Restart the web server (the web server itself, not the computer on which it runs).

   The Web Agent is enabled.
