Install the SiteMinder Documentation

For 6.x, you install the documentation separately using the documentation installation program. The documentation is not installed by default with the Policy Server. We recommend that you install the documentation before the Policy Server.

To install the SiteMinder documentation

1. Log in as smuser or as the user who installed the Policy Server.

   Note: This user must have sufficient privileges to modify the web server and ServletExec configuration files. The installer modifies these files to configure the Policy Server User Interface and the OneView Monitor.

2. Download the documentation kit from the Technical Support site and save one of the following installation executables to a temporary location:
   • nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-sol.bin
   • nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-aix.bin
   • nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-rhel30.bin
   • nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-hp.bin

   Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the install file by running the following command:

   chmod +x nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-os.bin

To use the GUI mode

1. Open a command window and navigate to where the install program is located.
2. Enter the following command:

   sh ./nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-os.bin
   

   os

   Specifies sol, aix, linux, or hp.

To use the console mode

1. Open a command window and navigate to where the install program is located.
2. Enter the following command:

   sh ./nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-os.bin -i console
   

   os

   Specify sol, aix, linux, or hp.

   Solaris example: sh ./nete-sm-doc-6.0-sp6-sol.bin -i console

   Note: The -i console part of the command lets you run the installation in a console instead of a GUI.

3. To view the Introduction/License Agreement, press ENTER when prompted.

   The installation script displays the License Agreement.

4. Enter y to agree with the terms and continue the installation.
5. Read the Installation/Release Notes and press ENTER.
6. Enter the installation directory.
7. Review the Pre–Installation Summary and press ENTER to install the documentation.

   The installation program installs the documentation in the directory you specified.

8. Press ENTER to exit the installer.

If you have installed the documentation after installing the Policy Server, create the netegrity_docs virtual directory on the web server. This directory lets you view the documentation using the Policy Server User Interface. You can run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create the directory or you can manually create it for IIS 5.0/6.0.
