Chapter 3: Install a Web Agent on a UNIX System 69
Re-register a Trusted Host Using the Registration Tool (UNIX)
When you install a Web Agent on a server for the first time, you are prompted to
register that server as a trusted host. After the trusted host is registered, you do
not have to re-register with subsequent Agent installations. There are some
situations where you may need to re-register a trusted host independently of
installing an Agent, such as the following:
■
To rename the trusted host if there has been a change to your SiteMinder
environment.
■
To register a trusted host if the trusted host has been deleted in the
Administrative UI.
■
To register a trusted host if the trusted host policy objects have been deleted
from the policy store or the policy store has been lost.
■
To change the shared secret that secures the connection between the
trusted host and the Policy Server.
■
To recreate the SmHost.conf configuration file if it is lost.
■
To overwrite an existing trusted host without deleting it first.
The registration tool, smreghost, re-registers a trusted host. This tool is installed
in the web_agent_home/bin directory when you install a Web Agent.
web_agent_home
Indicates the directory where the Web Agent is installed.
Default (Windows installations): C:\Program Files\CA\webagent
Default (UNIX installations): /opt/ca/webagent
To re-register a trusted host using the registration tool
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Ensure that the library path environment variable contains the path to the
Web Agent‘s bin directory.
3. Enter the following two commands:
library_path_variable=${library_path_variable}:web_agent_home/bin
export library_path_variable
For example, for Solaris systems enter the following two commands:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/ca/webagent/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The following list shows the different variables for each operating system:
Solaris
