The Agent Installation Types
All the Installation Type I agents share the same installation steps. The agents for
Domino 5 and 6 require additional configuration of the Domino server.
Both the Installation Type II agents, Microsoft IIS 6.0 and Apache 2.0.50, also share
the same installation steps. However, after the installation steps are completed,
both of theseagents require configuration.The configuration stepsare divided into
two sets of steps. The three sets of procedures for installation and configuration of
the Installation Type II agents are as follows:
1. Installing the agent
2. Creating the agent configuration file for the web site that is to be protected by
the agent
3. Configuring the agent for that web site
Preparing for Agent Installation on Microsoft IIS
Web Servers
The policy agent for Microsoft IIS 5.0 enforces policy on URL access for Microsoft's
IIS web server. The agent is an IIS ISAPI filter installed at the IIS web service level
that will enforce policy on all IIS web sites. Technical considerations prevent the
agent from being installed at the web site level.
Prior to installation, be sure that the entry for the system where the agent will be
installed has a domain name set. If the web server that runs Sun ONE Identity
Server 6.0 is running on a separate system, make sure the server is also in the DNS
query list.
