Policy Server Option Pack GUI and Console Mode Installation

The installation instructions that follow reflect the GUI mode prompts. For UNIX systems, you can install the Policy Server Option Pack using Console mode by executing the Option Pack binary file with the -i console command argument. The command line installation prompts are similar to the GUI mode prompts.

Before you install the Policy Server Option Pack, be sure of the following:

• The Policy Server is installed locally.
• The Policy Server is using a JRE, which the Policy Server Option Pack also uses.

To locate installation kits on the Support site

1. Click Technical Support.
2. Log into CA Support Online.
3. Click Download Center.
4. Search the Download Center for the installation kit you need.

To install the Policy Server Option Pack

1. Stop the Web or application server and exit any applications that are running.
2. Run the installation program according to your platform.

   Windows

   Double-click the executable nete-ps-opack-6.0-sp6-win32.exe.

   Important! If you are running this wizard on Windows Server 2008, run the executable file with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

   UNIX

   At the command prompt, type one of the following commands:

   • GUI Mode

     ./binary_filename

   • Console Mode

     ./binary_filename -i console

     There is a binary file for each supported operating system.

   Example: To run the installation in GUI mode on a Solaris platform, enter the following command:

   ./nete-ps-opack-6.0-sp6-sol.bin

   Note: If needed, use the chmod command to add execute permissions to the installation file, for example:

   chmod +x nete-ps-opack-6.0-sp6-sol.bin

3. Follow the installation dialogs and prompts to complete the installation, noting the following:
   • In the Import Affiliate Data dialog box, do one of the following:
     • For new installations, accept the default option, Import affiliate data during install. If you clear the check box, you will have to import this data later using the smobjimport command. For details, see Importing Federation Services Data After Option Pack Installation.
     • For an upgrade, clear this checkbox if you have made any changes or additions to the Federation Web Services policy store objects. Importing affiliate data overwrites policy store objects for Federation Web Services.
   • In the SM Admin Username and SM Admin Password fields, specify the SiteMinder administrator username and password that you used during the installation of the Policy Server. Re-confirm the password in the Re-enter password field, then click Next.
   • In the SM Key Database dialog, accept the default to create an smkeydatabase and enter a password to encrypt keys and certificate data in the smkeydatabase. Click Next.
   • In the second SM Key Database dialog, accept the default if you want to import the default CA certificates, then click Install.

   The program installs the Option Pack files then displays the Install Complete dialog box.

4. Choose whether to reboot your system immediate or later on your own, then click Done.

To reinstall the Policy Server Option Pack, repeat this procedure.
