Create a New UNIX Account

Create a new UNIX account named smuser with the default shell as ksh. You may also need to modify the profile for the smuser account, as indicated later in this chapter.

Important! You should install the Policy Server using the smuser UNIX account, but do not configure the Sun Java System or Apache on Linux Web Server for the FSS Administrative UI or the OneView Monitor GUI because the installer modifies the Web server's configuration files and smuser does not have the appropriate root privileges. Thus, when you run the Policy Server installer, do not select Web Server(s) or OneView Monitor when prompted to choose components.

After the Policy Server installation is complete, run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard (located in siteminder_installation\install_config_info\ca-ps-config.bin) as root to configure the FSS Administrative UI or the OneView Monitor GUI.
