Application Specific Settings

Location of CA EEM Server

Local - for the first installed server (management server)

Remote - for each additional server

Indicate whether you plan to use a local or a remote CA EEM server.

For a management CA Enterprise Log Manager server, choose Local. The installation prompts you to create a password for the default EiamAdmin user account.

For each additional server, choose Remote. The installation prompts you for the management server name.

Regardless of whether you chose local or remote, you must use the EiamAdmin account ID and password to log on to each CA Enterprise Log Manager server the first-time.

Host Name or IP Address of the remote CA EEM Server

IP address or hostname

Enter this value only if you select Remote in the Local or Remote server option.

Enter the IP address or host name of the management CA Enterprise Log Manager server that you installed first.

The host name must be registered with the DNS Server.

If you want to use a local CA EEM server, the default value is none.

Password for CA EEM Server

EiamAdmin account password

Record the password for the default administrator account, EiamAdmin.

Your CA Enterprise Log Manager server requires these account credentials for the initial login.

If you are installing the management server, you are creating and confirming a new EiamAdmin password here.

Make a note of this password as you must use it during the installations of other CA Enterprise Log Manager servers and agents.

Note: The password you enter here is also the initial password for the default caelmadmin account that you use to access the CA Enterprise Log Manager server directly through ssh.

You can create additional administrator accounts to access the CA EEM functions after installation, if desired.

FIPS

Yes or No

Specifies if the virtual appliance must run in FIPS mode or non-FIPS mode. If you choose to use a local CA EEM server, you can choose any mode. If you choose to use a remote CA EEM server, you must choose the mode that the remote CA EEM server uses.
