Reinstall a Web Agent on UNIX
You can reinstall a Web Agent to restore missing application files. For this
procedure, you do not need to uninstall the existing Web Agent; simply perform
a reinstall over the existing Web Agent files by repeating the installation
procedure.
To reinstall the Web Agent on UNIX, use the following process:
1. Make copies of your Web Agent configuration settings to have as a back up.
2. Install the Web Agent on your UNIX system using the GUI installer.
During the reinstallation, you must confirm the reinstall by one of the
following:
■ A Reinstall dialog box (GUI mode)
■ A Confirm Upgrade/Reinstall prompt (Console mode)
Register Your System as a Trusted Host on UNIX
A trusted host is a client computer where one or more SiteMinder Web Agents
can be installed. The term trusted host refers to the physical system.
To establish a connection between the trusted host and the Policy Server, you
need to register the host with the Policy Server. After registration is complete,
the registration tool creates the SmHost.conf file. After this file is successfully
created, the client computer becomes a trusted host.
Note: You only register the host once, not each time you install and configure a
Web Agent on your system.
You can register the trusted host immediately after installing the Web Agent or at
a later time; however, you must perform the registration at some point.
You can run the Registration Tool independently from GUI or Console mode.
