Install the UNIX Remote Agent Interactively

You can start the installation wizard by using a shell script or LSM. We recommend that you use LSM, because it uses reference counting to ensure that shared components are not uninstalled until no other products require them.

Note: All prerequisite components are installed after the UNIX Agent installer has been executed. This note applies to both upgrade and new installations despite the “Cancel” option being selected during the installation process.

Follow these steps:

  1. Switch to the directory where the installation files are located.

    For example, select the installation package for AIX:

    # cd /cdrom/UNIX/AIX
  2. Depending on the installation method that you want to use, enter one of the following commands to start the setup wizard: 
    sh IdentityManager. platform_name.sh

    lsm -i IdentityManager. platform_name.@pif

    Note: To see the LSM installation options, enter the following command:

    lsm -?
  3. The Welcome dialog appears. Check that it shows the version that you intend to install, then click Next.
  4. The Select Installation Directory dialog appears. Leave the default or specify a different directory, then click Next.

    If the directory does not exist, the installation process creates it.

    Note: If you run this procedure on a computer on which an older version of the UNIX Remote Agent is installed, the old installation path is read from the /etc/catngdmopath.tng marker file and set as the Installation directory.

    During an update installation, the product installation directory cannot be modified.

  5. The Summary dialog appears. Check the following installation parameters: 
    PATHCA Identity Manager=/opt/CA/IdentityManager/ProvisioningUnixAgent
IM_INSTALL=1
OWNERroot=root
GROUPsys=sys
  6. Click Install Product to run the installation.
  7. View the installation log.
