When do you get the error? Is it when you're configuring the Webagent?

Anyway, verify the following.

  • Verify your environment variables are set correctly, if must have references to the Webagent files, you may need to export the envvars in the webagent or policy server folder (nete_wa_env...) file.
  • if the host config object you're using exists? Verify this using the Admin UI
  • If the hostname is configured in the policy server as a trusted host
  • Verify if the settings are correct in the corresponding SmHost.conf file in the webagent folder
  • Verify and eliminate any duplicate or conflicting lines in your IIS config files which refer to siteminder.
  • Verify the host config object and the agent config object settings.
