Edit the Response File

When you install an agent or create a response file on a Solaris system, you specify values for the five parameters listed on the following table. If you copy this file for reuse on other systems, you can edit the original values as needed, or if appropriate, use the original values.

To edit the response file

  1. Log on to the host where you plan to invoke the silent installation.
  2. Navigate to the <install directory> where the ca-elmagent.rsp resides.
  3. Use an editor of your choice to modify any of the values shown on the following table, then save the ca-elmagent.rsp file.

Field

Description

ELM_SERVER

The Host name or IP address of the CA User Activity Reporting Module server.

Enter the host name if the CA User Activity Reporting Module server gets its IP address dynamically through DHCP.

BASEDIR

The full path to the agent root directory.

Default: /opt/CA/ELMAgent.

AUTH_CODE

The Agent Authentication Key. Select the Agent Authentication Key button in the Agent Explorer under Administration to view or set this key.

Note: If the key value you enter during installation does not match the entry in the UI, the agent service will not start after installation.

FIPSMODE

Indicates if the Agent runs in FIPS mode.

Default: OFF

AGENT_USER

The user name for running the CA User Activity Reporting Module agent. We recommend that you create a lower-privilege user account to run the agent before starting the agent installation.

Default: root

DEFAULT_CONNECTORS

The exported file containing connector configurations, including the path.

Leave this field blank if the Connectors.xml file is not available.

Default: <blank>
