Customize the bff Native Package Files

Before you install UNAB using a native package, customize the UNAB package to specify that you accept the license agreement. You can also specify custom installation settings when you customize a package.

We recommend that you do not modify the package manually. Instead, use the script as described in the following procedure to customize the UNAB package.

You can find the installp format native packaging (bff files) for each of the supported AIX operating systems in the UNAB directory of the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD.

Important! Before you install UNAB, verify that you have configured AIX to use PAM for authentication purposes.

To customize the bff native package files

Extract the package you want to customize to a temporary location on your file system.
In the read/write location on the file system, the package (a bff file) can be customized as required.

Important! This location needs to have disk space that is at least twice the size of the package, so that it can hold temporary repackaging files.
Copy the customize_uxauth_bff script file and the pre.tar file to a temporary location on your file system.
The pre.tar file is compressed tar file containing installation messages and the UNAB license agreement.

Note: You can find the customize_uxauth_bff script file and the pre.tar file in the same location where the native packages are.
Enter the following command to extract the uxpreinstall utility from the installation package
```
customize_uxauth_bff -e uxpreinstall -f tmp_params [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
Use the uxpreinstall to check for system compliance before you install UNAB
Enter the following command:
```
customize_uxauth_bff -a [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
This command displays the license agreement.
Take note of the keyword that appears at the end of the license agreement inside square brackets.
You specify this keyword in the next step.
Enter the following command:
```
customize_uxauth_bff -w keyword [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
This command specifies that you accept the license agreement
(Optional) Enter the following command
```
customize_uxauth_bff -r -l lang [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
This command sets the language of the installation parameters file:
(Optional) Enter the following command:
```
customize_uxauth_bff -i install_loc [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
This command changes the installation directory.

Enter the following command to get the installation parameters file:

customize_uxauth_bff -g -f tmp_params [-d pkg_location] pkg_name

(Optional) Edit the installation parameters file to suit your installation requirements.
This file lets you set the installation defaults for the package.
(Optional) Enter the following command to set the installation parameters in your customized package:
```
customize_uxauth_bff -s -f tmp_params [-d pkg_location] pkg_name
```
You can now use the package to install UNAB with the customized defaults.
