ProcedureTo Install Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Windows Systems Using the GUI

  1. Unpack the product binaries.


    unzip binaryname.zip

    Note –

    On Microsoft Windows 2003, the zip file is not automatically unpacked. Therefore, after you download the agents zip file, be sure to extract the zip file to a directory first and then execute setup.exe. To extract the zip file, right click on the zip file in the File Manager and select Extract. After extracting to a directory, double click setup.exe to execute it.


  2. Run the installation program by double-clicking setup.exe.

    The Welcome page appears.

  3. In the Welcome page, click Next.

  4. Read the License Agreement. Click Yes to accept the license agreement.

  5. Select the directory where you want to install the agent.

    The directory you choose in which to install the web agent is referred to as the Policy Agent base directory, or PolicyAgent-base.

  6. Enter the applicable information about the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance where this agent will be installed in the dialog box.

    The dialog box provides fields for entering the required information. You are prompted for information in the order shown as follows:

    Host Name: Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the system where the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance is installed.

    For example, if the host is host1, the subdomain is eng, and the domain is example.com, then the Host Name in this case is host1.eng.example.com.

    Lotus Domino Data directory: Specify the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance that this agent will protect. The following is the default Lotus Domino Data directory:

    c:\Lotus\Domino\Data

    Web Server Port: Enter the port number for the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance that will be protected by the agent.

    Web Server Protocol: If your IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance has been configured for SSL, then select HTTPS; otherwise select HTTP.

    Agent Deployment URI: Enter a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) that will be used to access Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4. The default value is /amagent.


    Note –

    The web agent uses the value of the com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.agenturi.prefix property in the web agent AMAgent.properties configuration file to support some essential functions such as notification. Agent URI prefix is a configurable subset of Agent Deployment URI. It is important to set a valid URL for this property. Its value should be http://host.domain:port/agent-deployment-uri where host, domain and port are FQDN and port number of the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance where the agent is installed and agent-deployment-uri is the URI where the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance will look for web-agent related HTML pages. Its default value is amagent.

    The following is an example of an Agent Deployment URI:

    http://host1.example.com:80/amagent

  7. When you have entered all the information, click Next.

  8. Provide the following information about the Access Manager host:

    The deployment container will connect to this server.

    Primary Server Host: Enter the FQDN of the primary Access Manager host.

    For example, if the host is host3, the subdomain is eng, and the domain is example.com, then the Host Name in this case is host3.eng.example.com.

    Primary Server Port: Enter the port number for the primary Access Manager host.

    Primary Server Protocol: If the primary Access Manager host is SSL-enabled, select HTTPS. Otherwise select HTTP.

    Primary Server Deployment URI: Enter the location that was specified when Access Manager was installed. The default URI for Access Manager is /amserver.

    Primary Console Deployment URI: Enter the location that was specified when Access Manager console was installed. The default URI for Access Manager is /amconsole.

    Failover Server Host: Enter the FQDN of the secondary Access Manager host if the primary Access Manager host becomes unavailable. If no failover server host exists, then leave this field blank.

    Failover Server Port: Enter the port number of the secondary Access Manager host. If no failover server host exists, then leave this field blank.

    Failover Server Protocol: If the failover Access Manager host is SSL-enabled, select HTTPS. Otherwise select HTTP. If no failover server host exists, then leave this field blank.

    Failover Server Deployment URI: Enter the location that was specified when Access Manager was installed. The default URI for Access Manager is /amserver. If no failover server host exists, then leave this field blank.

    Failover Console Deployment URI: Enter the location that was specified when Access Manager Console was installed. The default URI for Access Manager is /amconsole. If no failover server host exists, then leave this field blank.

    Agent Access Manager Shared Secret: Enter the password for the Access Manager internal LDAP authentication user. This user is also referred to as amldapuser.

    For more information about the shared secret and its relationship with the Access Manager agent profile, see Chapter 4, The Relationship Between the Agent Profile and Web Agents in Policy Agent 2.2.

    Re-enter Shared Secret: Re-enter the password for the Access Manager internal LDAP authentication user (amldapuser).
