Post installation process for SiteMinder HTTP server agents

After the SiteMinder HTTP server agents are installed and configured, complete this post-installation procedure. This procedure designates where the SiteMinder agent locates the login form and also installs the DSAPI filter for the IBM® Domino® server.

Procedure

  1. On the IBM Sametime® Community Server on which you installed the HTTP agent, access the agent installation directory and run this script:

    Linux™

    ./ca_wa_env.sh

    Windows™

    \install_config_info\ca-wa-config.exe

  2. Create a folder named siteminderagent and copy all the files and directories from the \Siteminder_install_dir\samples directory to one of these locations according to your operating system:

    Linux

    /local/notesdata/domino/html

    Windows

    c:\domino\data\domino\html

    For example, copy the forms directory as well as others.

    Note: If you do not complete step 2, the SiteMinder Agent can not find the login form and a 404 error is generated when you login.
  3. Edit the WebAgent.conf file in this directory on your server: /local/notesdata on Linux, or domino\data on Windows. Change the value of the EnableWebAgent attribute to EnableWebAgent="YES".
  4. In the IBM Domino server configuration file, add a DSAPI filter by completing these steps:
    1. On the Domino server on which the Sametime Community Server is installed, open Names.nsf.
    2. Open the server document for the Domino server.
    3. Select the Internet Protocols > HTTP tab, and in the DSAPI filter file names field, enter the name and full path of the SiteMinder Web agent. For example, enter one of these according to your operating system:

      Linux

      web_agent_home/bin/libdominowebagent.so

      Windows

      web_agent_home\bin\DOMINOWebAgent.dl

  5. Save and close the document.
  6. Restart the Sametime Community Server.
