How to Configure Software Delivery

The Software Delivery service lets you deploy and patch software to managed systems in CA Server Automation.

1. Verify that the SDAdapter service is running (Administration, Configuration page, Services List).

   If the SDAdapter service is not running, configure a Software Delivery server; the SDAdapter service is started automatically.

2. Verify that each CA ITCM instance is configured for management by a single CA Server Automation instance, or provisioning can fail.
3. If you are using Active Directory, configure the Software Delivery server to use it as an external directory before authentication.

Note: When using a Windows Domain account, the user can be a local user that is a member of the Administrators group (full control access class permissions to all available security object classes); or the user can be a domain account that is also a member of the Local Administrators group.
