Install UNAB RPM Packages

To log in to a UNIX computer using Active Directory user accounts, you need to install UNAB on each UNIX computer that you want to access. You use UNAB RPM packages to install UNAB on a Linux computer.

To install UNAB RPM packages

  1. Log in to the Linux computer as root.
  2. Copy the compressed tar file appropriate for the server platform from the /UNAB directory of the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD to a temporary location on your file system.

    In the read/write location on the file system, the package can be customized as required. The compressed tar file contains the UNAB package and installation files.

  3. Navigate to the temporary directory, uncompress, and extract the contents from the compressed tar file. For example, the following commands uncompress and extract the contents from a file named _LINUX_Ux_PKG_125.tar.Z: 
    gunzip _LINUX_Ux_PKG_125.tar.Z
tar xvf _LINUX_Ux_PKG_125.tar
  4. Use the rpm command to install the ca-lic package. ca-lic is a CA Technologies license program that is a prerequisite for all other packages. For example: 
    rpm -U ca-lic-0.0080-04.i386.rpm

    The ca-lic package installs.

  5. Customize the UNAB 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.

  6. Use the rpm command to install the UNAB package. For example: 
    rpm -U uxauth-125-3.0.1517.i386.rpm

    The installation process begins.

    A message informs you that the installation process completed successfully.

    Note: The UNAB package also installs the CAWIN shared component.

  7. Review the installation log file, uxauth_install.log, for information about the installation process.

    You can find the log file in the UNAB installation directory, which by default is at the following location:

    /opt/CA/uxauth
  8. Verify that the installation completed successfully.
