Run the UNIX Installer to Install the Administrative UI

The installation executables are in the SOA Security Manager kit available on the Technical Support site. They are the following:

• Solaris—ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-sol.bin
• Red Hat Linux—ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-linux.bin

To locate installation kits on the Support site

1. Click Technical Support.
2. Log into CA Support Online.
3. Click Download Center.
4. Search the Download Center for the installation kit you need.

Note: Extract all files and directories in the SOA Security Manager kit to a common location on a local drive and keep them together—the SOA Security Manager installer cannot run without the included supporting files.

If you do not have sufficient rights, add executable permission to the install file by running the following command:

chmod+x ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-os_version.bin

• os_version

  Specifies sol or linux.

Important! If you execute the SOA Security Manager installer across different subnets it can crash. To avoid this problem, install the Policy Server directly on the host system.

To run the Administrative UI installer

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Open a command window and navigate to where the installation executable is located.
3. Enter the following command in a UNIX shell:

   sh ./ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-os_version.bin -i
   

   The installation starts.

   Note: When prompted to select from a list of numbered choices, enter the numbers separated by commas (,). To select none of the features, enter only a comma.

4. Use the gathered application server, object store, and administrative user store information to install the Administrative UI.

   Consider the following when running the installer:

   • When prompted to select the 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.

6. Click Done and reboot the system.

You are now ready to register the Administrative UI with a Policy Server.
