Deploy a NIST Database

If you intend to use a NIST database to filter file scans, CA distributes a NIST database that is pre-configured for use by the FSA. This database ships separately from the FSA installation package and you must manually install this database before installing the FSA. Specifically, you must attach the WGN_NIST database to any instance of SQL Server 2005 or 2008.

To do this

1. Run installNIST.cmd.

   Find this file on the CA DLP NIST database distribution media. Run this command file on the SQL Server host machine.

2. Respond to the prompt for the path to the target folder for the NIST database.

   The command attaches a WGN_NIST database to the target instance of SQL Server. To do this, it installs the following data and transaction log files:

   WGN_NIST.mdf
   

   WGN_NIST_log.ldf
   

3. After successfully attaching the WGN_NIST database, you must ensure that the FSA service user is authenticated as a valid SQL Server login on the server hosting the NIST database.

   You are now ready to continue with the FSA deployment.
