Run the Installer to Install a SiteMinder WSS Agent Using a UNIX Console

Install the SiteMinder WSS Agent using the CA SiteMinder WSS installation media on the Technical Support site. Consider the following:

• Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the install file by running the following command:

  chmod +x ca-sm-wss-<SVMVER>-cr-unix_version.bin
  

  cr

  Specifies the cumulative release number. The base 12.51 release does not include a cumulative release number.

  unix_version

  Specifies the UNIX version: sol or linux..

• If you execute the CA SiteMinder WSS installer across different subnets, it can crash. Install CA SiteMinder WSS components directly on the host system to avoid the problem.

To install the SiteMinder WSS Agent

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

   ./ca-sm-wss-<SVMVER>-cr-unix_version.bin -i console
   

   The CA SiteMinder WSS installer starts.

4. Use gathered system and component information to install the SiteMinder WSS Agent. Consider the following as you make your selections:
   • When prompted to select what agents to install, select CA SiteMinder WSS Agents for Application Servers and then specify the CA SiteMinder WSS Agent for Oracle WebLogic.
   • When prompted to select the Java version, the installer lists all Java executables present on the system. Select a supported 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (refer to the Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site).
   • When prompted for the location where WebLogic is installed, enter one of the following locations (as appropriate for your version of WebLogic):
     • WebLogic 9.2: /bea/weblogic92
     • WebLogic 10.3 /bea/wlserver_10.3
     • WebLogic 11G: /Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3
   • When prompted for the location where WebLogic is installed, enter the correct location for your version of WebLogic.
   • Do not use space characters in the SiteMinder WSS Agent install path. For example, "/CA Technologies/agent" will result in install failure.
5. Review the information presented on the Pre-Installation Summary page, then proceed.

   Note: If the installation program detects that newer versions of certain system libraries are installed on your system it asks if you want to overwrite these newer files with older files. Select No To All if you see this message.

   The SiteMinder WSS Agent files are copied to the specified location. Afterward, the CA CA SiteMinder WSS Configuration screen is displayed.

6. Select one of the following options:
   • Yes. I would like to configure CA SiteMinder WSS Agents now.
   • No. I will configure CA SiteMinder WSS Agents later.
7. Hit Enter.

   If you selected the option to configure SiteMinder WSS Agents now, the installation program prepares the CA SiteMinder WSS Configuration Wizard and begins the trusted host registration and configuration process.

   If you did not select the option to configure SiteMinder WSS Agents now or if you are required to reboot the system after installation you must start the configuration wizard manually later.

Installation Notes:

• To check if the unattended installation completed successfully, see the CA_SiteMinder_Web_Services_Security_Install_install-date-and-time.log file in WSS_HOME/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.

  WSS_Home

  Specifies the path to where CA SiteMinder WSS is installed.

  install-date-and-time

  Specifies the date and time that the SiteMinder WSS Agent was installed.

  The Agent cannot communicate properly with the Policy Server until the trusted host is registered.

• The Agent cannot communicate properly with the Policy Server until the trusted host is registered.

Install a SiteMinder WSS Agent Using the Unattended Installer

After you have installed one or more SiteMinder WSS Agents on one machine, you can reinstall those agents on the same machine or install them with the same options on another machine using an unattended installation mode. An unattended installation lets you install or uninstall SiteMinder WSS Agents without any user interaction

The unattended installation uses the ca-wss-installer.properties file generated during the initial install from the information you specified to define the necessary installation parameters, passwords, paths, and so on.

The ca-wss-installer.properties file is located in: WSS_Home/install_config_info

To run the installer in the unattended installation mode

1. From a system where CA SiteMinder WSS is already installed, copy the ca-wss-installer.properties file to a local directory on your system.
2. Copy the SiteMinder WSS Agent installer file (ca-sm-wss-<SVMVER>-cr-unix_version) into the same local directory as the ca-wss-installer.properties file.

   cr

   Specifies the cumulative release number. The base 12.51 release does not include a cumulative release number.

   unix_version

   Specifies the UNIX version: sol or linux.

3. Open a console window and navigate to the location where you copied the files.
4. Run the following command:

   ./ca-sm-wss-<SVMVER>-cr-unix_version -f ca-wss-installer.properties -i silent
   

   The -i silent setting instructs the installer to run in the unattended installation mode.

   Note: If the ca-wss-installer.properties file is not in the same directory as the installation program, use double quotes if the argument contains spaces.

   Example:

   ./ca-sm-wss-<SVMVER>-cr-unix_version -f ~/CA/Web_Services_Security/install_config_info/ca-wss-installer.properties" -i silent
   

   An InstallAnywhere status bar appears, which shows that the unattended CA SiteMinder WSS installer has begun. The installer uses the parameters specified in the ca-wss-installer.properties file.

Installation Notes:

• To check if the unattended installation completed successfully, see the CA_SiteMinder_Web_Services_Security_Install_install-date-and-time.log file in WSS_HOME/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.

  WSS_Home

  Specifies the path to where CA SiteMinder WSS is installed.

  install-date-and-time

  Specifies the date and time that the SiteMinder WSS Agent was installed.

• The Agent cannot communicate properly with the Policy Server until the trusted host is registered.
• To stop the installation manually, type Ctrl+C.
