Perform Complete Installation

To install CA Strong Authentication the user account for installation must belong to the Administrators group.

To install all CA Strong Authentication components on a single system, use the Complete option. Custom installation, recommended for advanced users, allows installation of only the selected components from the package.

Follow these steps:

Locate the CA Strong Authentication installer CA Strong Authentication-Windows-Installer.exe file in the installation package.
Double-click the installer file and click Next.
Accept the terms of the license agreement option, and click Next.
The installer checks if any other CA product is installed on the computer.

If it does not find an existing CA product installation, then you are prompted for an installation directory. In this case, the Installation Location screen appears.

If the installer detects an existing CA product installation, then you are not prompted for an installation directory. The following screen appears when an existing ARCOT_HOME is located on the computer.
Accept the default directory specified by the installer to install CA Strong Authentication. You can also click Choose to navigate and to specify a different directory.
Click Next to install in the specified directory.
Select the Complete option to install all components and click Next.
The Database Type screen appears.
Select the database type, and click Next.
The corresponding Database Details screen appears.

Note: CA Strong Authentication supports Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC). To use Oracle RAC with your CA Strong Authentication Installation, select Oracle Database in this step, and then perform the steps in Configuring CA CA Strong Authentication for Oracle RAC.

Enter the following details for the database that you are using:

MS SQL database access:
1. Enter the required information as described in the following table:

Field	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.
Server	The host name or IP address of the database server. If SQL server is deployed in Named Instance mode, then you must also enter a slash "\" followed by the instance name, refer to vendor documentation for more information on this. Default Instance Syntax: <Server Name> Example: demodatabase Named instance Syntax: <Server Name>\<instance name> Example: demodatabase\instance1
User Name	The User Name that CA Strong Authentication uses to access the database (SQL Server refers to this as login). This name is specified by the database administrator. Note: The User Name for the Primary and Backup DSN must be different.
Password	The password that CA Strong Authentication uses to access the database. This password is specified by the database administrator.
Database	The name of the database that CA Strong Authentication will access.
Port Number	The port on which the database server listens to the incoming requests.

The Encryption Configuration screen appears. This screen is used to select the encryption mode and set the information used for encryption.

Enter the following information in this screen:
- Master Key: Enter the master key, which will be used to encrypt the data stored in the database. By default, the value of master key is set to MasterKey. This key is stored in the securestore.enc file located at <install_location>\Arcot Systems\conf.
  If you want to change the value of the master key after the installation, then regenerate the securestore.enc file with a new master key value. For more information, see the CA CA Strong Authentication Administration Guide.
- Configure HSM: Select this option only if you want to use a Hardware Security Module (HSM) to encrypt the sensitive data. Otherwise, the software mode is used by default to encrypt the data.
  Note: The following options are enabled only if you choose to Configure HSM.
- PIN: Enter the password that is used to connect to the HSM.
- Choose Hardware Module: Choose the HSM that you plan to use. Following are the HSMs that CA Strong Authentication supports:
  - Luna HSM
  - nCipher netHSM
- HSM Parameters: Set the following HSM information:
  - Shared Library: The absolute path to the PKCS#11 shared library corresponding to the HSM.
    For Luna (cryptoki.dll) and for nCipher netHSM (cknfast.dll), specify the absolute path and name of the file.
  - Storage Slot Number: The HSM slot where the 3DES keys used for encrypting the data are present. The default value for Luna is 0, and for nCipher netHSM the default value is 1.
Note: The HSM parameter values that you provide here are recorded in the arcotcommon.ini file located at <install_location>\Arcot Systems\conf. To change these values after installation, you must edit the arcotcommon.ini file, as discussed in appendix, "Configuration Files and Options".
