Register a Trusted Host on UNIX

To register or reregister a trusted host on UNIX use the Registration Tool, smreghost. This tool is installed when you install an Agent on a trusted host, and is located in the directory ASA_HOME/bin.

Note: When reregistering a host with the same name using smreghost, first remove the host from the Administrative UI unless you use the smreghost command argument, -o, which lets you overwrite an existing trusted host without having to delete it from the Policy Server.

To run smreghost to register or reregister a host on UNIX

1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Verify that the library path environment variable contains the path to the SiteMinder Agent bin directory by entering the following two commands:

   library_path_variable=${library_path_variable}:ASA_HOME/bin 
   

   export library_path_variable 
   

   where library_path_variable is LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Solaris and Linux and is SHLIB_PATH for HP-UX.

   Example: setting the library path

   To set the library path for Solaris systems, enter the following two commands:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/smwlsasa/bin 
   

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
   

3. Enter the smreghost command using at least the following required arguments:

   smreghost -i policy_server_IP_address:port  
             -u administrator_username -p Administrator_password  
             -hn hostname_for_registration -hc host_configuration_ object 
   

   The smreghost also takes a number of optional requirements not shown here. For a complete list of smreghost arguments, see smreghost Command Arguments.

   Note: There must be a space between each command argument and its value.
