Configure the Web Agent and Register Your System As a Trusted Host

After you install the Web Agent, you need to configure it and register the system on which it runs as a trusted host.

Note: You may want to print out a copy of the related worksheet to record your settings before running the wizard.

To configure the Web Agent and register your system as a trusted host

1. Start the Configuration Wizard using one of the following commands from the root directory of the SiteMinder Web Agent:
   • sh nete-wa-config.sh (configures the Web Agent with a GUI)

     Note: An X11-based system is required to use the GUI mode.

   • sh nete-wa-config.sh -i console (configures the Web Agent using a console)

   The Configuration Wizard starts.

2. If this is the first time you are configuring this Web Agent, click Yes when you are prompted to register a trusted host. Follow the instructions in the wizard to register the trusted host.

   Note: A trusted host only needs to be registered once. If you have previously registered this agent as a trusted host, click No, and then go to the next step.

   The trusted host is registered and the SmHost.conf file is created on the web server.

3. Follow the instructions in wizard to configure the Web Agent.

   The WebAgent.conf file is created on the web server and the Web Agent is configured.
