Install the CA SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint on Windows

The default installation location for the agent on 32-bit Windows operating environments is: C:\Program Files\CA\Agent-for-SharePoint. On 64-bit Windows operating environments, the default installation location is C:\CA\Agent-for-SharePoint.

Important! The Agent for SharePoint cannot be installed on a computer that hosts any other web server. The Agent for SharePoint operates as a stand-alone proxy-based solution.

To run the agent installer on Windows operating environments, you need local Administrator privileges.

Note: We recommend installing the agent on an NTFS file-system partition.

Follow these steps:

1. Copy the installation program from the Download location on the CA Support site.
2. Right-click the following executable, and then select Run as administrator:

   ca-sp2010agent-version-operating_environment.exe

   The installation program starts.

3. Follow the instructions from the installation wizard.

   Note: The installer displays all Java executables that are installed in the system. Pick a Java component and version that is equal to or greater than the one shown by the installer. If the installer does not detect any Java executables by default, then browse and select the appropriate path. For more information about the required Java executables or other third-party software requirements, see the platform support matrix.

4. Restart your system after the installation finishes.
