Install the SiteMinder Agent for SharePoint on Windows

The default installation location for the Agent for SharePoint 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 for SharePoint Windows installation, the user must be the local Administrator.

Note: We recommend installing the Agent for SharePoint on an NTFS file-system partition system.

Follow these steps:

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

   ca-sp2010agent-version-win32.exe

   The installation program starts.

   Follow the instructions from the installation wizard.

   Note: The installer displays all java executables installed in the system. Select 32-bit Java Development Kit, Java Runtime Environment, or Java version 1.6.0_16 or higher from the Choose Java Virtual Machine list. If the installer does not detect java executables by default, then browse and select the appropriate path.

3. Restart your system after the installation finishes.
