How to Verify That CA Access Control Is Correctly Installed

Valid on Windows

You should verify that CA Access Control is correctly installed immediately after you install the product. The following process helps you verify that CA Access Control is correctly installed.

If you have installed CA Access Control successfully, you will notice the following changes:

• A new key is added to the Windows registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl
  

  While CA Access Control is running, the CA Access Control keys and sub-keys are protected and you can modify the keys only through CA Access Control Endpoint Management or by using selang commands. However, you do not need to use CA Access Control Endpoint Management or selang commands to read the keys and values.

• When you restart your computer, several new CA Access Control services start automatically. These services include the Watchdog, Engine, and Agent, which are always installed. Other services, such as Task Delegation, exist depending on the options you chose during installation. The Display name for all CA Access Control services begins with "CA Access Control". You can check what services are installed, and verify that these services are running, using Windows Services Manager.
