Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will the Siteminder Advisor send my PC profile information up to a web server?

    No. The Siteminder Advisor creates a local Web page, keeping your PC profile on your PC and does not send it to a web server, including Siteminder's server.

    Siteminder is able to personalize a web page to show you details of your computer without a web server by using technologies included in the Siteminder Advisor.

    Please let us know if you have any questions or how you feel about this issue by contacting our team.

  • Must any previously installed Siteminder Advisor be removed before installing a newer version?

    No. The installer will automatically remove any previous Siteminder Advisor version.

  • When checking for new security definitions the Advisor gets an error. What can I do?

    This is usually caused by a software firewall installed on your computer. Check the settings of your firewall for options that block or permit applications to connect to the Internet. If your firewall needs to allow specific programs access to the Internet, allowing the SiteminderAdvisor.exe program should work. You'll find SiteminderAdvisor.exe in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Siteminder\SiteminderAdvisor directory on your computer.

  • The Advisor has installed and finished a discovery of my PC's hardware and software, why do I not see any results?

    This usually happens when the Windows file association, for the HTML file extension, is misconfigured on your computer. Most often, this is caused by trying out a new browser and then uninstalling it from your computer.

    Here's how you can fix that:

    On Windows 11, 10, 8 or 7: Open Windows file explorer to the c:\Program Files (x86)\Siteminder\SiteminderAdvisor\System\tmp directory, or for 32-bit windows c:\Program Files\Siteminder\SiteminderAdvisor\System\tmp. Then right click on the file named (COMPUTER_NAME).html, COMPUTER_NAME is the name of your PC. In the pop-up menu click Open with Open with and then click Choose another app or Choose default program… in the Open with submenu. In the Open with dialog choose your preferred browser and check the Always use this app to open .html files or Use this app for all .html files checkbox. When you next run the Siteminder Advisor the results will show in your browser.

    If that doesn't work for you, open the c:\Program Files (x86)\Siteminder\SiteminderAdvisor\System\tmp\(COMPUTER_NAME).html file (where COMPUTER_NAME is the name of your PC) using the File Open… menu command in your web browser. In Internet Explorer and Firefox the menu is hidden until you click your keyboard's alt key. In most browsers, you can also type Control + O to open a file.
