Perform a Complete Installation

To install all component on a single system, use the Complete option. Custom installation allows you to install only the selected components from the package. This option is recommended for advanced users.

Follow these steps:

Log in and navigate to the directory where you extracted the installer.
Verify that you have the permission to run the installer. If not, run the following command:
```
chmod a=rx CA-StrongAuthentication-8.0-Linux-Installer.bin
```

Run the installer as follows:

sh CA-StrongAuthentication-8.0-Linux-Installer.bin

Press Enter to continue with the installation.
The License Agreement appears.
Accept the License Agreement:
1. Enter y to accept the acceptance of License Agreement and to continue with the installation.
The Choose Installation Location options appear.
Perform one of the following steps:
- If the installer detects an existing home directory, it displays the path to that directory. Press Enter to accept this directory path.
- If the installer does not detect an existing home directory, it displays the default directory path and prompts you to either accept the default path or specify a new path. Press Enter if you want to accept the default path. Alternatively, enter the absolute path of the directory where you want to install the product and press Enter to continue.
  Note: The installation directory name that you specify must not contain spaces.
The installation types (Complete and Custom) supported by CA Strong Authentication appear.
Enter 1 to select the default (Complete) option and install all components of CA Strong Authentication, and press Enter to continue.
The Database Type options appear.
Enter the number corresponding to the database, and press Enter to continue:
- 1 - Microsoft SQL Server
- 2 - IBM DB2 (UDB)
- 3 - Oracle Database
- 4 - MySQL
The Primary Database Access Configuration options appear.

Note: CA Strong Authentication supports Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC). To use Oracle RAC , select Oracle Database in this step, perform the next step (Step 9), and then perform the steps in Configuring CA CA Strong Authentication for Oracle RAC.
Depending on the database that you use:
- Define the information that is listed in the following table if you specified Microsoft SQL Server:

Parameter	Description
Primary ODBC DSN	The installer creates an ODBC connection that CA Strong Authentication uses to connect to the database. The recommended value to enter is arcotdsn.
User Name	The database user name for CA Strong Authentication to access the database. This name is specified by the database administrator. (MS SQL Server, typically, refers to this as login.) Note: It is recommended that you use different user names for the primary and backup DSNs.
Password	The password associated with the User Name you specified in the previous field and which is used by CA Strong Authentication to access the database. This password is specified by the database administrator.
Server Name	The host name or IP address of the CA Strong Authentication datastore. Default Instance Syntax: <server_name> Example: demodatabase Named Instance Syntax: <server_name>\<instance_name> Example: demodatabase\instance1
Port Number	The port on which the database server listens to the incoming requests. Note: Press Enter, if you want to accept the default port.
Database	The name of the MS SQL database instance.

Define the information that is listed in the following table if you specified IBM DB2 (UDB):
