How to Install the Enterprise Management Server Components

The Enterprise Management Server components let you centrally manage your enterprise deployment of CA Access Control. After you install the Enterprise Management Server components, you install the reporting service and the CA Access Control and UNAB endpoints.

Before you begin the implementation, verify that the computers you are using meet the required hardware and software specifications.

Note: For more information about the required hardware and software specifications, see the CA Access Control Compatibility Matrix that is available from the CA Access Control product page on CA Support.

To install the Enterprise Management Server components, do the following:

1. Prepare the Enterprise Management Server.

   Before you install the Enterprise Management Server, prepare the computer by installing and configuring the prerequisites.

   Note: We recommend that you install the latest software updates and patches for your system before you install the Enterprise Management Server.

2. Install the master CA Access Control Enterprise Management.

   All the web-based applications, the Distribution Server, the DMS, and CA Access Control are installed.

3. (Optional) Install the Load Balancing Enterprise Management Servers.
4. (Optional) Configure the Enterprise Management Server to use Sun ONE directory or CA Directory user stores.

   You can define CA Access Control Enterprise Management to use the Sun ONE or CA Directory user stores in place of Active Directory or the relational database user store.

5. (Optional) Configure the Enterprise Management Server for SSL communication, as follows:
   1. Configure JBoss for SSL communications.
   2. (Active Directory) Configure the Enterprise Management Server for SSL communication.
6. (Optional) Set up advanced configuration.

   Use the CA Identity Manager Management Console to perform advanced configuration tasks, such as to modify the properties of the central database to generate custom reports and configure CA Access Control Enterprise Management to send email notifications when a specific event occurs.

7. (Optional) Implement enterprise reporting.

   The Enterprise Management Server provides reporting capabilities through a CA Business Intelligence Common Reporting server (CA Access Control Report Portal).

8. (Optional) Integrate with CA User Activity Reporting Module.

   You have installed the Enterprise Management Server. You can now install and configure your endpoints.
