Install the SiteMinder Agent for JBoss using the installation media on the Technical Support site.

Note: For a list of installation media names for each operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Release Notes.

To Install the SiteMinder Agent using a GUI on UNIX

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Open a shell and navigate to where the install program is located
3. If necessary, add executable permissions to the install file by running the following command:

   chmod +x installation_media
   

   installation_media

   Specifies the SiteMinder Agent installer executable

4. Enter the following command:

   sh ./installation_media
   

   The SiteMinder Agent for JBoss installation wizard starts.

5. Use gathered system and component information to install the SiteMinder Agent. Consider the following when running the installer:
   • If you enter path information in the wizard by cutting and pasting, enter (and delete, if necessary) at least one character to enable the Next button.
   • When prompted to select the Java version, the installer lists all Java executables present on the system. Select a supported 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (refer to the Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site).
   • Do not use space characters in the SOA Agent install path. For example, "/CA/SOA SM" will result in install failure.
6. Review the information displayed on the Pre-Installation Summary page, then click Install.

   Note: If the installer detects newer versions of certain system libraries installed on your system, it asks if you want to overwrite these newer files with older files. Select No To All if you see this message.

   The SiteMinder Agent files are copied to the specified location. Afterward, the CA SiteMinder Agent for JBoss Configuration screen is displayed.

7. Choose one of the following options:
   • Yes. I would like to configure the CA SiteMinder Agent for JBoss now.
   • No. I will configure the CA SiteMinder Agent for JBoss later.
8. Click Done.

   If you selected the option to configure the Agent now, the installer prepares the CA SiteMinder Agent for JBoss Configuration Wizard and begins the host registration and configuration processes.

   Do the following:

   • Register the trusted host. You can perform this process before or after configuring an Agent. However the Agent cannot communicate properly with the Policy Server unless the trusted host is registered.
   • Configure the SiteMinder Agent.

   If you did not select the option to configure the Agent now, the installation program prompts you to restart your system. Select whether to restart the system automatically or later on your own.

Installation Notes:

• After installation, you can review the installation log file in SMAGENT_HOME/install_config_info. The file name is: CA_SiteMinder®_Agent_for_JBoss_InstallLog.log

  SMAGENT_HOME

  Specifies the path to where the SiteMinder Agent is installed.

• If you do not start the configuration wizard immediately after installation, you can start the Wizard manually when you are ready to configure an Agent.
• If you must reboot the server after installation, you can start the Wizard manually when you are ready to configure an Agent.
