How can we change the location where this file is located?
How can we change the location where this file is located?
Environment
Release : 12.8.03
Component : SITEMINDER -WEB AGENT FOR APACHE
Resolution
The Apache server locates the Siteminder Web Agent's 'webagent.conf' file from within the Apache 'HTTPD.conf file' in the "SmInitFile" directive.
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
LoadModule sm_module "/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libmod_sm24.so"
SmInitFile "/export/apache/conf/WebAgent.conf"
The file can be renamed and moved within the file system, and the "SmInitFile" value can be updated to point to the new location and reflect the new name. The name and path are simply the defaults.
NOTE: The user used to start the Apache instance will need to have permissions to the new file location. It is not recommended to modify default configuration within advanced understanding of the Web Agent and Apache configuration concepts.
