Install UNAB AIX Native Package

To manage the UNAB installation with all your other software installations, install the customized UNAB AIX native package. The UNAB AIX native packages (bff files) let you install UNAB 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. If you want to manage the UNAB endpoint through CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, you must register the UNAB endpoint with CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management before you install UNAB.

To install the UNAB 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 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.

  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 UNAB package (uxauth) 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 UNAB package using the following command:
    installp -ac -d pkg_location uxauth[pkg_level]
    
    pkg_level

    Defines the level number of the package you recorded earlier.

    AIX starts installing the UNAB package from the pkg_location directory.

    UNAB is now fully installed but not started.
