Install the Distribution Server

The following procedure takes you through the steps of installing the Distribution Servers.

Complete the following steps:
- On Windows:
  If you have autorun enabled, the Product Explorer automatically appears. Perform the following steps:
  1. If the Product Explorer does not appear, navigate to the optical disc drive directory and double-click the ProductExplorerx86.EXE file.
  2. Expand the Components folder in the Product Explorer, select CA ControlMinder Distribution Server, then click Install
- On Linux:
  1. Mount the optical disc drive.
  2. Open a terminal window and navigate to the following directory on the optical disc drive:
    /DistServer/Disk1/InstData/NoVM
  3. Run the following command:
```
	./install_DistServer.bin -i console
```
Complete the wizard as required. The following installation inputs are not self-explanatory:

Message Queue Settings

Defines the Message Queue server administrator password (Communication Password).

Limits: Minimum of six (6) characters

Java Connector Server - Provisioning Directory Information

Defines the password for the Java Connector Server.

The CA ControlMinder Distribution Server installation is complete.

Important! Verify that you specify the same Communication Password you defined while installing the Enterprise Management Server. The Enterprise Management Server uses the communication password to manage the Message Queue keystore, administrator account, handle communication between CA Access Control Enterprise Management and the endpoints, and manage the Java Connection Server.
