Install the Web Agent on a UNIX System

There are several types of Web Agent installations on a UNIX system:

Note: Installing a Web Agent on a 64-bit Suse Linux 10 system requires additional preparations.

Installing from a graphical user interface
Installing from a console window responding to command-line prompts
Installing installation file, unattended by an administrator and requiring no user interaction.

Select the installation method that best suits your environment.

Note the following:

The Web Agent installation adds and modifies a few system environment variables.
When you install an Apache, Stronghold, or IBM HTTP Server Web Agent, the following warning is displayed when you restart the web server:
Loaded DSO /export/smuser/ca/siteminder/webagent/bin/mod_sm.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI—recompile it with -DEAPI.

You can ignore this warning. This issue does not impact the functioning of the Web Agent.
In console mode, when the installation program prompts with a question, the default entry is displayed in brackets []. Press ENTER to accept the default.
In these procedures, web_agent_home refers to the installed location of the SiteMinder Web Agent.
After installation, you can find the installation log file in web_agent_home. The file name is:
CA_SiteMinder_Web_Agent_version_InstallLog.log
