Before You Install the Policy Server on UNIX

Consider the following items before installing the Policy Server:

Free space in /tmp—The Policy Server installation requires 3 GB of free space in the /tmp directory.
System path length—If the system path length exceeds 1024 characters, the Policy Server installation fails. The limitation applies to both included or excluded CA SiteMinder® added directories.
Note: For best results, we recommend that you install CA SiteMinder® to a location such that the installation path does not exceed 700 characters.
Telnet or other terminal emulation software—If you are going to install the Policy Server using Telnet or other terminal emulation software, complete the installation using a console window. If you install in GUI Mode, a Java exception occurs and the installer exits.
Exceed X-windows application—Running the Policy Server installer or the Policy Server Configuration Wizard (ca-ps-config.bin) using an Exceed X-windows application can truncate text in the window. The limitation is due to unavailable fonts in Exceed and has no affect on the Policy Server installation or configuration.
Environment variables—The Policy Server installation modifies environment variables.
