How to Implement UNAB

Before you start implementing UNAB, we recommend that you review the following steps to customize, install, and configure UNAB in your enterprise.

1. Verify that the UNIX computer name resolves.
2. Check for system compliance.

   The uxpreinstall utility verifies that the system is compatible with the UNAB requirements.

3. Customize the UNAB installation package.

   Note: You do not need to customize the UNAB installation package for every UNIX host that you plan to install UNAB on. Customize the installation package for each operating system once and use it to install UNAB in your enterprise.

4. Configure UNAB to work with CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.

   Use the CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management server user interface to manage the UNAB endpoints.

5. Install the UNAB package on the UNIX hosts.

   Note: For more information about system requirements and operating system support, see the Release Notes.

6. Register the UNIX host with Active Directory.
7. Start UNAB.

   This step starts the UNAB daemon (uxauthd).

8. Create login authorization policies in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management and assign the policy to the UNAB endpoints.

   A login policy defines which enterprise users and groups are permitted or denied access to the UNIX host.

   Note: For more information about login policies, see the Enterprise Administration Guide.

9. Activate UNAB on the UNIX host.

   Activating UNAB lets enterprise users login to UNIX hosts.

10. (Optional) Implement UNAB in full integration mode.

    In full integration mode, UNAB uses Active Directory to both authenticate and authorize users.
