Apply Changes to Oracle iPlanet Web Server Files

The Web Agent Configuration Wizard makes changes to the Oracle iPlanets.conf, obj.conf, and mime.types files. If you plan to use the Oracle iPlanet Administration console, you must apply the changes to these files before making any modifications with the console or the Web Agent configuration may be lost. If you lose your configuration, use the Configuration Wizard to reconfigure your Web Agent.

Note: The Web Agent adds settings to the Oracle iPlanet web server’s obj.conf file when the Agent is configured to support an advanced authentication scheme. SiteMinder does not remove these settings later if the Agent is reconfigured to support a different advanced authentication scheme. Administrators must edit the obj.conf file manually to remove the settings that are no longer relevant.

To apply changes to the Oracle iPlanet configuration files

1. Log on to the Oracle iPlanet Administration Server console.
2. From the Servers tab, select the web server with the Web Agent installed and click Manage.
3. In the right corner of the dialog box, click Apply.

   You will see a warning message about loading the modified configuration files.

4. Click Load Configuration Files.
5. Exit the console.
6. Restart the web server.
7. Optimize the Oracle iPlanet Web Agent by tuning the shared memory segments.

You may be required reboot your machine once the Agent is configured.
