   Consider the following when running the installer:

   • When prompted to select features to install, select CA SOA Security Manager UI
   • If you are using IPv6 addresses, ensure your entries include brackets.

     Example: [2001:db8::1428:57ab]

   • When prompted to enter object store information:
     • do not clear the Initialize Database check box.
     • do not enter an IPv6 address. Enter a hostname instead of an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses are not supported for object store connections.
   • When prompted to enter Tomcat information for the reporting server, ensure that the Tomcat connection port does not conflict with the port number you specified for the application server URL.
5. Review the installation settings and click Install.

   The Administrative UI is installed.
