How to Deploy Stand-alone Hosts with Preconfigured Users

On Windows only, you can deploy Remote Control stand-alone hosts with preconfigured users for the Unified Security and Local Security (proprietary) security providers using the Microsoft Installer (MSI).

To configure your installation image to define preconfigured users for these security providers, you must modify the following files on the installation media:

[Path]\Program Files\CA\DSM\bin\rcLocalSecurityConfig.xml

Configures the Local Security provider used by default on Windows.

[Path]\Program Files\CA\DSM\bin\rcNTSecurityConfig.xml

Configures the Unified Security provider for Windows.

The XML configuration files are compressed on the installation media and cannot be edited directly. Therefore, to deploy stand-alone hosts with preconfigured users, you must do the following:

1. Extract the relevant XML file.
2. Modify the defaultusers parameter in the XML file by adding preconfigured users.
3. Deploy the host agents from the extracted image.
