Installation on UNIX in GUI mode

No special accounts or privileges are required to install the SiteMinder SDK. Instructions for installing a first version of the SDK and upgrading from an existing version are the same.

Do not install the SiteMinder SDK in the installation path where the Policy Server or Web Agent is installed, because there might be different versions of the same support libraries.

On UNIX, the installation executable file is ca-sdk-12.0-sp2-platform.bin.

You can install the SDK in GUI mode or console mode.

To Install the SDK in UNIX GUI Mode

  1. Close all programs.
  2. Download the SiteMinder SDK from the CA Technical Support site.
  3. In a UNIX shell, navigate to the directory that corresponds to your platform (solaris, aix, linux, or hpux).
  4. Enter the following command:
    sh ./ca-sdk-12.0-sp2-platform.bin
    

    For example, on Solaris platforms, the command is:

    sh ./ca-sdk-12.0-sp2-sol.bin
    
  5. Follow the prompts provided by the installation wizard.
