Installation of the .NET SDK

Install the .NET SDK on Windows

The installation of the CA SiteMinder Federation .NET SDK is fully automated. The installation program guides you through the process.

Important! You must have version 3.5 of the .NET Framework installed on the system where you are installing the .NET SDK; otherwise, the installation fails. Supported operating systems are listed in the Compatibility Matrix on the Technical Support site.

You can specify where the .NET is installed. The link library, CA.Federation.FedIdentitySdk.dll, by default is installed in C:\Program Files\CA\Federation Manager\sdk\dotnet\bin.

You run the .NET SDK installer with ca-fedmgr-dotnet-sdk-version-win32.exe. The executable is located on the Technical Support site.

To locate installation kits on the Support site

1. Click Technical Support.
2. Log into CA Support Online.
3. Click Download Center.

Search the Download Center for the appropriate installation kit.

Follow these steps:

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Navigate to where the installation executable is located.
3. Double-click ca-fedmgr-dotnet-sdk-version-win32.exe.

   The installation wizard starts.

4. Follow the prompts in the installation wizard and complete the installation.

The installation of the CA SiteMinder Federation Windows Agent is complete.

2. Select SiteMinder .NET SDK 12.51 and click Change/Remove.
