Install the SiteMinder Agent Using the Unattended Installer on UNIX

Once the SiteMinder Agent is installed on one system, you can reinstall it on the same system or install it with the same options on another system using an unattended installation mode. An unattended installation lets you install or uninstall the agent without any user interaction

The unattended installation uses the ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties file generated during the initial install from the information you specified to define the necessary installation parameters, passwords, and so on.The ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties is located in SMAGENT_HOME/install_config_info.

To run the installer in the unattended installation mode

1. From a system where the SiteMinder Agent is already installed, copy the ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties file to a local directory on your system.
2. Download the agent installation media from 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.

3. Copy the installation media into the same local directory as the ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties file.
4. Open a console window and navigate to the location where you copied the files.
5. Run the following command:

   installation_media -f ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties -i silent
   

   installation_media

   Specifies the name of the SiteMinder Agent installation executable.

   The -i silent setting instructs the installer to run in the unattended installation mode.

   When running this command, if the ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties file is not in the same directory as the installation program, use double quotes if the argument contains spaces.

   For example:

   installation_media -f "/CA/JBossAgent/install_config_info/ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties " -i silent

   The -i silent setting instructs the installer to run in the unattended installation mode.

   An InstallAnywhere status bar appears, which shows that the unattended SiteMinder Agent installer has begun. The installer uses the parameters specified in the ca-jboss-agent-installer.properties file.

Note: To stop the installation manually, type Ctrl+C.

To verify that the unattended installation completed successfully, see the CA_SiteMinder®_Agent_for_JBoss_InstallLog.log file in the SMAGENT_HOME/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.
