Install CA Directory

(Optional) CA Directory is a distributed directory for online applications. The CCS uses CA Directory to host the classification cache.

You must install CA Directory if you want to use a classification cache. A classification cache is optional. However, if you do not deploy a classification cache, CCS performance will be slower if external applications repeatedly pass the same documents to the CCS for classification.

If you want to use a classification cache, you must install CA Directory before you deploy the CCS.

To install CA Directory

  1. Download the CA Directory image onto the computer that will host the classification cache.

    CA Directory is available to download along with the CA DataMinder CCS software from CA Support Online.

  2. Disable all antivirus software before installing CA Directory.

    Important! If antivirus software is enabled while installation takes place, problems can occur.

  3. Run dxsetup.exe.

    The CA Directory installer starts.

  4. Click the Typical setup.
  5. Continue through the wizard screens, accepting the default settings.

    For full details on installation, download the CA Directory documentation from the support site.

  6. When the installer prompts for a trusted machine to manage CA Directory (that is, a machine that is trusted by DXManager), we recommend that you enter 'localhost' to specify the local computer.

    Note: DXManager is a separate (optional) that utility you can use to manage CA Directory. You do not need DXManager to successfully deploy the CCS.

  7. (Optional) Set up secure communication between CCS and the cache by configuring the classification cache to use SSL.

    To set up SSL, you must register authentication certificates and edit the cache (DSA) configuration file.

  8. Verify that the following service is running:

    CA Directory Administrative Daemon – dxadmind (if DXManager is installed)

  9. Re-enable your antivirus software.
