Siteminder installation into Apache

We had a recent installation of Siteminder (Web Access management tool) into our systems and had to be configured into existing apache installation. Here are some issues which came up and the tips which you could look into: 1. Did you give write permission to "site minder user"? for Apache Conf directory (<apache_root>/apache/conf). Write permission for  "httpd.conf"  file as well. 2. Created directory "/opt/netegrity". Ideally this should be created in separate filesystem as a good practice. This would become much helpful for clustering and promotional model. 3. Add entries in the "load module section" within the Apache "httpd.conf"  file LoadModule sm_module /opt/netegrity/webagent/bin/libmod_sm22.so SmInitFile <location of apache>/conf/WebAgent.conf 4. Manually add handlers # Manually added for siteminder # Add handlers # Siteminder .exe # AddHandler cgi-script .exe # Siteminder .fcc AddHandler smformsauth-handler
