Run the Installation Program

Note the following:

• The system on which you are installing the Agent must be managed by the Provisioning Server.
• You will need to create a user to act as the Administrator for password changes: suggested name is etapwsad. This user needs to be assigned the PasswordAdministrator profile.
• There are two Windows Password Synchronization Agents available in the installation media: one for 32-bit Windows and one for 64-bit. The 32-bit Password Synchronization Agent is not supported on 64-bit Windows. FIPS is only supported by the 32-bit Password Synchronization Agent.

To install the Password Synchronization Agent

1. Locate the CA Identity Manager Provisioning Components installation media.
2. Browse to \Agent\PasswordSync or \Agent\PasswordSync-x64.
3. Run setup.exe.
4. As part of the installation process you will be guided by a Configuration Wizard as follows:
   1. In the Host name field, enter the name of the Provisioning Server system.
   2. The suggested LDAP port used to connect to the Provisioning Server is 20390. Change this as required if your Provisioning Server installation uses a non-default port.
   3. Click the Find domain button to retrieve the Provisioning Server Domain.
   4. If your Provisioning Server installation is configured for failover follow the on-screen instructions to add a comma separated list of servers.
   5. Click Next.
   6. In the Administrator field, enter etapwsad as the default global user name for the Password Synchronization Agent. This user must be created with the PasswordAdministrator profile. It does not exist by default.
   7. In the Password Administrator field, enter the password of the Administrator.
   8. Click Next.
   9. From the Endpoint Type drop-down list, select the Endpoint Type of the host on which you are installing the Agent.
