112 Web Agent Installation Guide
Run the Configuration Wizard on Windows
To configure the Web Agent on an Sun Java System web server
1. If necessary, start the Web Agent Configuration Wizard.
The default method is to select Start, Programs, SiteMinder, Web Agent
Configuration Wizard. If you have placed the Wizard shortcut in a
non-default location, the procedure will be different.
Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the
executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into
the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes
for your SiteMinder component.
Note: If you chose to configure the Web Agent immediately after the
installation, SiteMinder automatically starts the wizard automatically.
2. If you have already done host registration, skip to the next step. If not,
select No in the Host Registration dialog box to skip registration, then click
Next.
To register a trusted host, go to the installation chapter for your platform.
3. Select the web server instances that you want to configure with Web Agents.
If you have already configured a server with a Web Agent and you are
running the Configuration Wizard to configure additional web servers
instances, the Wizard displays the Select One or More Instances to Overwrite
dialog box. This dialog box lists the web servers that you have previously
configured.
a. Select one of the following:
Overwrite—to overwrite the server instance configuration.
Preserve—to preserve the web servers configuration.
Important! If you uncheck a previously configured server, the Web
Agent will be removed from this server.
b. Click Next.
4. In the Agent Configuration Object field, enter the name of the Agent
Configuration Object for this web server instance, then click Next.
This name must match an Agent Configuration Object already defined at the
Policy Server. For example, to use the default enter iPlanetDefaultSettings.
5. If applicable, select one of the advanced SSL authentication schemes listed
in the SSL Authentication dialog box. If the Agent is not providing advanced
authentication, select No advanced authentication. Click Next.
The selections are:
■ HTTP Basic over SSL—identifies a user based on a user name and
password. The credential delivery is always done over an encrypted
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.
