Microsoft Office SharePoint and Outlook Web Access: Deactivating and Reactivating the Access Manager Policy Filter

If you decide to temporarily stop using Access Manager for SSO from Microsoft Office SharePoint or Outlook Web Access to other applications, you can accomplish this by deactivating the policy filter. Therefore, uninstalling the agent would not be necessary. If you are interested in uninstalling the agent instead, see Chapter 7, Uninstalling Policy Agent 2.2 for Microsoft IIS 6.0.

You can deactivate the policy filter from the Microsoft IIS 6.0 Server. The assumption is that you would reactivate the filter later.

Two tasks follow: one for deactivating the policy filter and one for reactivating it.

ProcedureMicrosoft Office SharePoint and Outlook Web Access: To Deactivate the Access Manager Policy Filter

  1. Log in to the Microsoft IIS 6.0 Server as an administrator.

  2. In the Microsoft Windows Start menu, choose run.

  3. Type the following: inetmgr.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Expand the local computer.

  6. Expand the Web Sites folder.

  7. Right-click Default Web Site.

    An options list appears.

  8. In the options list, click Properties.

  9. Click the ISAPI Filters tab.

  10. Click the amiis6auth filter.

  11. Click Remove.


    Caution – Caution –

    After removing the filter manually, as described in this task, if you want to reactivate it or if you want to unconfigure the agent by issuing the IS6AuthAdmin -unconfig command, you must first add the filter back manually (see Microsoft Office SharePoint and Outlook Web Access: To Reactivate the Access Manager Policy Filter) with the same filter name, for example amiis6auth. Otherwise, an error will be issued.


  12. Click OK.

  13. Restart the Microsoft IIS 6.0 Server.

    A method for restarting this server is to enter iisreset in a command window.
