There are several types of Web Agent installations on a UNIX system:
Note: Installing a Web Agent on a 64-bit Suse Linux 10 system requires
additional preparations.
■
Installing from a graphical user interface
■
Installing from a console window responding to command-line prompts
■
Installing installation file, unattended by an administrator and requiring no
user interaction.
Select the installation method that best suits your environment.
Note the following:
■
The Web Agent installation adds and modifies a few system environment
variables.
■
When you install an Apache, Stronghold, or IBM HTTP Server Web Agent, the
following warning is displayed when you restart the web server:
Loaded DSO /export/smuser/ca/siteminder/webagent/bin/mod_sm.so uses
plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI—recompile it with
-DEAPI.
You can ignore this warning. This issue does not impact the functioning of
the Web Agent.
■
In console mode, when the installation program prompts with a question, the
default entry is displayed in brackets []. Press ENTER to accept the default.
■
In these procedures, web_agent_home refers to the installed location of the
SiteMinder Web Agent.
■
After installation, you can find the installation log file in web_agent_home.
The file name is:
CA_SiteMinder_Web_Agent_version_InstallLog.log
