Chapter 3 Policy Agents on Microsoft Windows 67
Installing and Configuring the Installation Type I
Agents
This section explains how to install most policy agents supported on Microsoft Windows.
For a list and explanation of the Installation Type I and Installation Type II agents,
see “Overview of Policy Agents for Microsoft Windows” on page 64. Of the
Installation Type I agents, only the agents for Lotus Domino 5.0 and 6.0 require
configuration. Therefore, this section provides the configuration steps for them
only. This section does not explain how to install the agents for Microsoft IIS 6.0 and
Apache 2.0.50
. For instructions on installing the agents for these two web servers see “Installing the
Installation Type II Agents” on page 75.
The following steps help you to install the Installation Type I policy agents in the
GUI mode. To install an agent in command-line mode, see “Installing Any Agent
from the Command Line” on page 72.
You must have administrator privileges to run the installation program.
1. Unzip the product binaries.
NOTE The policy agent for Microsoft IIS 6.0 is an ISAPI application. It is
deployed as a wildcard application mapping to a web site. This
implies that the agent for Microsoft IIS 6.0 when deployed for a
particular web site intercepts every request for accessing the
resources on that web site. It does authentication and policy
evaluation. If all the conditions are met the agent allows access to
the resource.
One new feature in the agent for Microsoft IIS 6.0 is that multiple
agents can be configured on the same machine. This was not
possible in the policy agent for Microsoft IIS 5.0. Using this new
feature, the policy agent can be configured for multiple web sites on
multiple application pools. However, the agent cannot currently be
configured for multiple web sites on the same application pool.
NOTE
On Microsoft Windows 2003, the zip file is not automatically unpacked. Therefore,
after you download the agents zip file, be sure to extract the zip file to a directory
first and then execute
setup.exe . To extract the zip file, right click on the zip file in
the File Manager and select Extract. After extracting to a directory, double click
setup.exe to execute it.
