Install the UNIX Remote Agent Silently

You can install the UNIX Remote Agent automatically without any user interaction. Before you can install silently, create a response file.

You need a separate response file for each platform on which you plan to install the agent. Follow this entire procedure for each platform.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a response file using the following command:

   % sh IdentityManager.platform.sh -r filename
   

   platform

   Specifies the platform on which you are installing the UNIX Remote Agent.

   filename

   Specifies the name and location of the new response file.

2. On the target systems, install the UNIX Remote Agent silently with the following command:

   % sh IdentityManager.platform.sh -f filename
   

   filename

   Specifies the name and location of the response file you created in Step 1.

Example response file

PATHeTrustAdmin=/opt/CA/IdentityManager/ProvisioningUnixAgent
IM_INSTALL=1
OWNERroot=root
GROUPsys=sys

Notes

The following is a list of important notes:

• The current installation default path is /opt/CA/IdentityManager (the previous path was /opt/CA/eta).
• If the same CAM version and build level is already installed on the target machine, CAM will not be re‑installed.
• If a previous CAM version and build level is already installed on the target machine, CAM will be upgraded using the installation path of the current installation, which is stored in the following file:

  /etc/catngcampath
  

  If a previous CA Identity Manager Remote Agent is already installed on the target machine, the Remote Agent will be upgraded using the installation path of the current installation, which is stored in the following file:

  /etc/catngdmopath.tng
  

• If, on the target machine, the DISPLAY variable is set and a JAVA VM is installed, the installation will run in graphical mode.
• In VT100 mode, the terminal must provide a resolution of 80 (columns) x 24 (rows) or higher.
• On a UNIX machine with double-byte characters, CAM must be started with a shell having the “locale” set to C/Posix:

  `cat /etc/catngcampath`/bin/camclose
  LANG=C
  export LANG
  `cat /etc/catngcampath`/scripts/rc
  

• If you install the UNIX agent using Telnet, make sure that the environmental variable TERM is set to VT100.
