Increase the Agent's Size Limit for Uploaded Files

The Web Agent installed on an IIS 6.0 web server has a size limit of 2.5 MB for uploading files. If you want to increase this size limit, you can add a new key to the Windows registry on your web server.

To upload files that are larger than this limit

1. Open the registry editor.

   Note: For more information, see your Microsoft documentation, or go to http://support.microsoft.com/

2. Navigate to the following location:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\netegrity\SiteMinder Web Agent\Microsoft IIS 
   

3. Create a new DWORD registry key in the previous location using the following name:

   MaxRequestAllowed
   

4. Set this value of the key to the number of bytes that corresponds to the size limit you want.

   The value of this key overrides the default limit. If the value of this key is less than or equal to 0, than the default of 2.5 MB (2,500,000 B) is used. This key accepts decimal values from 0 to 4294967295.

   Note: The IIS 6.0 web server has its own size limit. Changing the Web Agent’s limit will not affect the IIS 6.0 limit. If you want to change the IIS 6.0 server’s limit, see the Microsoft IIS 6.0 documentation or online help.

5. Close the registry editor.

   The size limit is changed.
