Install the Universal Adapter

If required, you can install multiple Universal Adapters on separate servers.

Note: If you want to install the de-duplication database, you must do so before installing the Universal Adapter.

  1. Launch the CA DLP installation wizard. To do this, run setup.exe in your CA DLP distribution image.
  2. In the Installation Type screen, choose Advanced Installation.
  3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, choose Universal Adapter and then click Install.

    This launches the CA DLP Universal Adapter installation wizard in a separate window.

  4. In the Universal Adapter installation wizard, navigate to the Customer Setup screen.
  5. In the Custom Setup screen, choose the components that you want to install.
    CA Universal Adapter

    You must select this option.

    De-Duplication Support

    This feature is optional. It provides connectivity to the de-duplication database. If you do not select this option, the Universal Adapter will be unable to remove duplicate emails.

  6. If you selected De-Duplication Support, enter details about your chosen database in the De‑Duplication Database Location screen.

    Specify the name of the server hosting the database, or type 'localhost' to specify a database on the local machine.

    Note: If the installation wizard cannot validate the host server (for example, because it is not switched on), it adds a Bypass Validation check box to the screen. You can select this check box to skip the validation, but ensure you have correctly spelt the server name! if you have not, the Universal Adapter will be unable to subsequently connect to the de-duplication database.

  7. In the Server Selection screen, select whether to use Microsoft Exchange or IBM Domino as the host server for your input mailboxes.
  8. In the Universal Adapter Account screen, click the browse button to display the Service Credentials popup. Specify the user name and password for the Windows account that the Universal Adapter is to run under. This is the UA domain user you set up.
  9. If you selected Microsoft Exchange in step 7, enter details about the Exchange Server machine name and mailbox name.

    If you selected IBM Domino in step 7, enter the password for the Domino default user account. This account must be a valid Notes user.

  10. Click Finish to complete the installation wizard.
