Installing CA Threat Manager in the Enterprise › CA TM Agent Installation and Discovery › Configure the Installation Control File

Configure the Installation Control File

The Installation Control File (inoc6.icf) file plays an important role in deployment. You can use it to create customized policy settings prior to deploying the CA TM Agent or you can simply use the default settings. If you use the default settings, you can later create and distribute custom policies using the Threat Management Console. Whether you customize the ICF file or not, your client machines are protected as soon as the CA TM Agent is installed on them.

You can edit the ICF file using the Remote Install Utility, as described below, or using any text editor.

Note: For this procedure you will need the IP address of the CA ITM Server machine.

To configure the installation control file

1. (On Windows) Select Start, Programs, CA, eTrust, eTrust ITM, Remote Install Utility.

   The Remote Install Utility window opens.

2. From the File menu, select Modify ICF file.
3. Select inoc6.icf, and click Open.
