Deploy the CFSA

Before you deploy the CFSA, note the minimum Service Pack requirement when installing on Windows XP machines.

To install the CFSA

  1. Find setup.exe in the root of your CA DataMinder distribution image. Run setup.exe to launch the CA DataMinder installation wizard.

    The Installation Type screen opens.

  2. Click Advanced Installation.
  3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, choose Endpoint Agents and then click Install.

    This launches the CA DataMinder client installation wizard in a separate window.

  4. In the client installation wizard, navigate to the Customer Setup screen.
  5. In the Custom Setup screen, choose File System Agent.
  6. In the final wizard screen, click Install to start the file transfer.

    Note: The encryption utility, CADLPEnc.exe, is also installed in the CA DataMinder installation folder on the endpoint. The CFSA uses this utility to encrypt and decrypt files that your users copy to removable devices such as USB drives.

To configure the CFSA

See the following sections for full details. Briefly, you need to:

  1. Edit the machine policy for the host machine.
  2. Edit an appropriate user policy.

    In particular, you need to set up Data In Motion triggers, Data At Rest triggers, and the Access Denied message.
