Install an Apache Web Server on Windows as a Service for All Users
The Web Agent Configuration Wizard will not detect a valid Apache installation if
the Apache web server is installed for an individual user.
When you install an Apache web server, select the option to "install as a service,
available for all users " so during configuration, the SiteMinder Web Agent can
detect the existing web server on a user‘s system.
Installing the Apache Web Server with the option "manual start, for current user
only" allows the Web Agent to be installed; however, because the Configuration
Wizard cannot detect the Apache web server, the Web Agent cannot be
configured for the server.
How to Prepare a UNIX System for a Web Agent Installation
To prepare your UNIX system for a Web Agent Installation, use the following
process:
1. Set the DISPLAY variable.
2. Confirm that you have the required patches installed for your operating
system, as shown in the following:
■ Required AIX patches (see page 16)
■ Required HP-UX patches (see page 15)
■ Required Solaris patches (see page 15)
Set the DISPLAY For Web Agent Installations on UNIX
If you are installing the Web Agent on a UNIX system from a remote terminal,
such as a Telnet or Exceed terminal, be sure the DISPLAY variable is set for the
local system. For example, if your machine is 111.11.1.12, set the variable as
follows:
DISPLAY=111.11.1.12:0.0
export DISPLAY
Note: You can also install the Web Agent using the console mode installation,
which does not require the X window display mode.
