Overview of Policy Agents for Microsoft Windows
The Sun ONE Identity Server policy agents that support Microsoft Windows have
some variety and the web servers they are deployed on can vary a great deal. For
example, the architecture of Microsoft IIS web servers is quite unique, which can
affect how you prepare for the installation of the policy agent. For more
