Run the Installation Program

Note the following requirements:

• The Provisioning Server must manage the system on which you are installing the Agent.
• Create a user to act as the Administrator for password changes: suggested name is etapwsad. This user must have the PasswordAdministrator profile.
• Two Windows Password Synchronization Agents exist 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.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate the CA IdentityMinder installation media.
2. Browse to \Agent\PasswordSync or \Agent\PasswordSync-x64.
3. Run setup.exe.
4. Respond to the Configuration Wizard as follows:
   1. In the Host name field, enter the name of the Provisioning Server system.
   2. Change the port as required if your Provisioning Server installation uses a non-default port.

      The suggested LDAP port that is used to connect to the Provisioning Server is 20390.

   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 have 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.
   10. From the Endpoint Name drop-down list, select the Endpoint name that was used when creating the endpoint in the User Console.
   11. Click Configure.
5. Click Finish when prompted to complete the installation and reboot.
