(Optional) 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

WSS_Home

Specifies the path to where CA SiteMinder WSS is installed.

Default: C:\Program Files\CA\Web Services Security

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-win32.exe) 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.

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-win32.exe -f ca-wss-installer.properties -i silent
   

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the CA SiteMinder WSS Release Notes.

   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-win32.exe -f "C:\Program Files\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:

• After installation, you can review the installation log file in WSS_HOME\install_config_info. The file name is: CA_SiteMinder_Web_Services_Security_Install_install-date-and-time.log

  WSS_Home

  Specifies the path to where CA SiteMinder WSS is installed.

  Default: C:\Program Files\CA\Web Services Security

  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.
