How to Configure Any Web Agent in Unattended Mode
Chapter 9: Configurations Available for All Web Agents 147
To run an unattended Web Agent configuration
1. From a system where the Web Agent is already installed, copy the
ca-wa-installer.properties file from web_agent_home/install_config_info to
a local directory on the system where you want to run an unattended
configuration.
2. Open a console window and navigate to
web_agent_home/install_config_info.
Important! If you are running a SiteMinder utility or executable on
Windows Server 2008, be sure to open the command–line window 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.
Note: You must run the unattended configuration from the
install_config_info directory because the configuration executable file must
remain in this directory.
3. Run the following command:
agent_config_executable -f properties_file -i silent
For example, if you copied the properties file to the install_config_info
directory, the command would be:
Windows:
ca-wa-config.exe -f ca-wa-installer.properties -i silent
UNIX:
ca-wa-config.bin -f ca-wa-installer.properties -i silent
If you do not copy the properties file to the install_config_info directory,
specify the full path to this file in the command. If there are spaces in the
directory path, enclose the entire path between quotation marks.
When the configuration is complete, you return to the command prompt.
4. Check to see if the configuration completed successfully by looking in the
CA_SiteMinder_Web_Agent_version_InstallLog.log file, located in the
web_agent_home/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the
results of the configuration.
