Siteminder webagent on Windows 2008 x64

For Windows 2008 R1 x64, the 64bit version of Siteminder Webagent does not work very well incase you want to protect apps with ASP.NET 1.1. I wasted too much time trouble shooting this and websites with ASP.NET 2.0 would work without any issue.

Siteminder ISAPI6webagent.DLL would not fire for ASP.NET 1.1 applications.


As a test, I installed Siteminder x32 bit Webagent on the 64bit server, the issue was resolved. ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 applications both worked.

Webagent used is available for download here.

Error 1606

Just got this error while I was trying to install a software on Windows 2008 x64 bit Server, and got the below error

"Error 1606. Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\"

How to fix this?

modify both locations in registry using regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot

modify appropriately
"%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" to "D:\inetpub\wwwroot".
