Install Solaris Native Packages

To manage the CA ControlMinder installation with all your other software installations, install the customized CA ControlMinder Solaris native package. The CA ControlMinder Solaris native packages let you install CA ControlMinder on Solaris 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 ControlMinder Solaris native packages

1. (Optional) Configure Solaris native installation defaults:
   1. Get a copy of the installation administration file to the current location:

      convert_eac_pkg -p
      

      The installation administration file is copied to the current location with the name myadmin.

      You can edit the installation administration file to change pkgadd installation defaults. You can then use the modified file for specific installations, such as CA ControlMinder, using the pkgadd -a option. However, this file is not specific to CA ControlMinder.

      Important! You must perform this step to upgrade an existing Solaris package installation from an older CA ControlMinder release.

   2. Edit the installation administration file (myadmin) as desired, then save the file.

      You can now use the modified installation settings for the CA ControlMinder native installation without affecting other installations.

   Note: Solaris native packaging may require user interaction by default. For more information about the installation administration file and how to use it, see the Solaris man page for pkgadd(1M) and admin(4).

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. Install the package:

   pkgadd [-a dir/myadmin] -d pkg_location CAeAC
   

   -a dir/myadmin

   Defines the location of the myadmin installation administration file you created in step 1.

   If you do not specify this option, pkgadd uses the default installation administration file.

   pkg_location

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

   Important! The package must be located in a public location (that is, read access for group and world). For example, /var/spool/pkg

   Note: You can find the Solaris native packages in the NativePackages directory of the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD.

   CA ControlMinder is now fully installed but not started.
