If you are installing Agent for Microsoft IIS 6.0 to protect Microsoft Office SharePoint, tasks specific to Microsoft Office SharePoint are required. This section provides those configuration instructions in a series of tasks.
To protect Microsoft Office SharePoint with this agent you must ensure that the authentication method for the Microsoft IIS 6.0 Server is set to Basic authentication as described in this task.
As an administrator, log in to Windows 2003 Server where Microsoft Office SharePoint is running.
In the Microsoft Windows Start menu, choose run.
Type the following: inetmgr
Click OK.
Expand the local computer.
Expand the Web Sites folder.
Right click the SharePoint site that you are protecting with the agent.
The agent-protected SharePoint site is typically the site using port 80 (SharePoint — 80).
In the options list, click Properties.
The Default Web Site Properties dialog box appears.
Select the Directory Security tab.
Click Edit in the Authentication and access control section.
Select Basic authentication in the Authenticated access section.
Ensure that no other authentication option is checked.
Click OK.
Click OK again to close the Web site properties.
Back up the signout.aspx file.
This file is typically available in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\ 12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
Open the signout.aspx file.
Replace the lines of code indicated within this step.
function _spBodyOnLoad() [ try [ document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache"); ] catch (e) [] window.close(); ]
function _spBodyOnLoad() [ window.location="https://amHost:amPort/amserver/UI/Logout"; ]
Where amHost and amPort are place holders that you must replace with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) host name and port number, respectively, of the Access Manager server.
Save and close the signout.aspx file.
Restart the Microsoft IIS 6.0 server using the iisreset command.
Now you can verify the installation of the agent as described in Microsoft Office SharePoint and Outlook Web Access: Verifying a Successful Agent Installation.
