Install AIX Native Packages

To manage the CA Access Control installation with all your other software installations, install the customized CA Access Control AIX native package. The CA Access Control AIX native packages (bff files) let you install CA Access Control on AIX easily.

Important! You must customize the package to specify that you accept the license agreement using a keyword you can find inside the license agreement.

To install the CA Access Control AIX native packages

1. Log in as root.

   To register and install AIX native packages, you need permissions associated with the root account.

2. Customize the CAeAC package.

   You must customize the package to specify that you accept the license agreement using a keyword that you can find inside the license agreement. You can also customize the package to specify custom installation settings.

3. (Optional) Record the level (version) of the package that you want to install:

   installp -l -d pkg_location
   

   pkg_location

   Defines the directory where the CA Access Control package (CAeAC) is located.

   For each package in pkg_location, AIX lists the level of the package.

   Note: For more information about the AIX native packaging installation options, refer to the man pages for installp.

4. Install the CA Access Control package using the following command:

   installp -ac -d pkg_location CAeAC [pkg_level]
   

   pkg_level

   Defines the level number of the package you recorded earlier.

   AIX starts installing the CAeAC package from the pkg_location directory.

   CA Access Control is now fully installed but not started.
