Install and Verify the SiteMinder Policy Server

After you set the Policy Server parameters and back up the properties.sh file, run the installation program.

Verify the installation before proceeding with further installation steps.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to:

   /opt/CA/saas/repo/application/
   

2. Run:

   ./appliance_local.sh config 
   

   When installation is complete, verify the installation as follows.

3. Issue this command to check if Java is running:

   ps -ef|grep java
   

   The response is as follows:

   "java -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -cp ./lib/* com.ca.directory.dxagent.service.DxAgentService"
   "/opt/32/jdk1.6.0_31/jre/bin/java -Xrs -Dnete.ps.root=/opt/CA/siteminder -classpath /opt/CA/siteminder/lib/smconapi.jar:/opt/CA/siteminder/monitor/smmon.jar com.netegrity.smmonagent.SmMonAgentRun"
   "/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/runtime/bin/java -Dprogram.name=run.sh -server -Xms128m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -disableassertions -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver=true -Dderby.system.home=/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/server/default/data/derby 
   -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/server/default/conf/keyStore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=changeit -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/server/default/conf/trustStore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=jks 
   -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/lib/endorsed -classpath /opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/bin/run.jar:/opt/CA/siteminder/adminui/runtime/lib/tools.jar org.jboss.Main"
   

4. Inspect the /opt/CA/siteminder/registry/sm.registry file.

   It should have the following highlighted entry (usually at second line in file):

   HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion=813012936
   ImsInstalled=                             8.0;  REG_SZ
   InstallKey=             {RC2}Xemlc/LaIcFzZdUpcR+CSlR9A6SNgg0YDQOwEsqfvKk=;      REG_SZ
   Label=                                    758;  REG_SZ
   Language=                                  EN;  REG_SZ
   Location=                  /opt/CA/siteminder;  REG_SZ
   MasterKeyFile=          /opt/CA/siteminder/bin/EncryptionKey.txt;       REG_SZ
   Update=                                 00.00;  REG_SZ
   Version=                                12.51;  REG_SZ
   

5. Issue this command to confirm that SiteMinder is running:

   ps -ef|grep sm
   

   The response is as follows:

   "/opt/CA/siteminder/bin/smexec"
   "smpolicysrv"
   "/opt/32/jdk1.6.0_31/jre/bin/java -Xrs -Dnete.ps.root=/opt/CA/siteminder -classpath /opt/CA/siteminder/lib/smconapi.jar:/opt/CA/siteminder/monitor/smmon.jar com.netegrity.smmonagent.SmMonAgentRun"
   

6. For a high-availability deployment, continue with installing a second SiteMinder Policy Server. For a single-instance deployment, continue with installing the CSP Console.
