Set Up the Installation Files for the UNIX Remote Agent

The connectors for UNIX ETC and UNIX NIS use a remote agent to communicate with the connector server, and to perform operations on the endpoint. You install the remote agent on each endpoint.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose an installation method:
   • LSM—Uses a .@pif file.
   • Script—Uses a .sh script. Use the script if LSM is not available, for example when no other CA products are installed on the system.
2. Locate the installation package for your platform. The packages are in the following location in the installation files:

   RemoteAgent/UNIX/platform/IdentityManager.platform.sh
   

   platform

   Identifies one of the following platforms:

   • AIX
   • HPUX
   • Solaris
   • SolarisIntel
   • Linux
   • LinuxS390
   • Tru64

3. If required, copy the installation files to the UNIX computer on which you intend to install. To do this, copy the entire contents of the directory for your platform.

You can now choose an installation method: interactive or silent.
