Run the Installer from a UNIX Console to Install the Administrative UI

You run the respective UNIX installation executable 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 install the Administrative UI with a UNIX console

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Open a command window and navigate to where the install program is located.
3. Enter the following command:

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

   The SOA Security Manager installation wizard starts.

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

   Consider the following when entering information:

   • When prompted to select features to install, select CA SOA Security Manager Policy Server
   • When prompted to select components, enter the numbers separated by commas (,). To select none of the features, enter only a comma.
   • 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 initialize the database.
     • do not enter an IPv6 address. Enter a hostname instead of an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses are not supported for object store connections.
5. Review the installation settings and press Enter.

   The Administrative UI is installed.

6. Press Enter.

   The installer closes.

7. Reboot the system.

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