Customize and Install Using Install_Base Script

You can install CA ControlMinder using the install_base script. This is an interactive script but you can also run it silently.

To install CA ControlMinder

  1. If you already have CA ControlMinder installed and it is running, shut it down by logging in as an administrator and entering the following commands:
    ACInstallDir/bin/secons ‑sk
    ACInstallDir/bin/SEOS_load -u
    
  2. Log in as root.

    To install CA ControlMinder, you need to have root permissions.

  3. Mount the optical disc drive with the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for UNIX DVD.
  4. Read the license agreement.

    To run the install_base script you need to accept the End User License Agreement. After you have read the license agreement, you can continue the installation by entering the command found at the end of that file. To get the license file name and location, run install_base -h.

  5. (Optional) Customize the installation.

    Note: To decide which optional functionality you want to install, review the options of the install_base command in the CA ControlMinder Implementation Guide.

    Example: The following customized command shows how to initiate the install_base interactive script to install the client package to the /opt/CA/AC directory, and enable the Stack Overflow Protection option:

    /dvdrom/Unix/Access‑Control/install_base -client -stop -d /opt/CA/AC
    
  6. Install the client and server packages.

    Example: The following command initiates the install_base interactive script to install the client and server packages with all default CA ControlMinder features:

    /dvdrom/Unix/Access‑Control/install_base
    

    The install_base script starts. During the installation you are prompted to answer questions related to installing the client and server packages of CA ControlMinder. As we did not specify a package to install in this example, the install_base command installs both client and server packages.

The CA ControlMinder installation is complete; however, it is not yet running.
