Linux Systems: Agent Installation for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4

This section describes the installation process on Linux systems.

Preparing to Install Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

Follow the specific steps outlined in this section before you install the web agent to reduce the chance of complications occurring during and after the installation.

To Prepare to Install Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

Note –

You must have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.3.1 or higher installed or available on a shared file system in order to run the graphical user interface (GUI) of the web agent installation program. Currently, JRE 1.3.1 or any version higher is certified for use with the web agent installation program.

Perform the following pre-installation tasks:

Ensure that Policy Agent 2.2 for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 is supported on the desired platform as listed in Supported Platforms and Compatibility of Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4.

Install IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 if not already installed.

Refer to the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 documentation for details on how best to install and configure this server for your platform.

Ensure that IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 has the latest patches available.

Set your JAVAHOME environment variable to a JDK version 1.3.1_04 or higher.

The installation requires that you set up your JAVAHOME variable correctly. However, if you have incorrectly set the JAVAHOME variable, the setup script will prompt you for supplying the correct JAVAHOME value:

Please enter JAVAHOME path to pick up java:

Installing Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

The web agent installation program has two interfaces: the graphical user interface (GUI) and the command-line Interface. The following sections present instructions to install the web agent using both of these interfaces:

GUI Installation of Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems

Use the following instructions to install the web agent using the GUI on Linux systems.

To Install Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 on Linux Systems Using the GUI

You must have root permissions when you run the agent installation program.

Unpack the product binaries.

Unpack the product binary in the directory of your choice using the following command:

# gunzip -dc binaryname.tar.gz| tar -xvof -

In the directory in which you unpack the binaries, issue the following command:

# ./setup

The Welcome page appears.

In the Welcome page, click Next.

Read the License Agreement. Click Yes to agree to the license terms.

To search for the directory where you would like to install the web agent, click Browse. To accept the default, click Next.

When prompted, provide the following information about the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance this agent will protect:

Install Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent in this directory: Enter the full path to the directory where you want this agent to be installed, and then click Next.

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

Host Name: Enter the FQDN of the machine 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:
```
/local/notesdata
```
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 the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4 instance has been configured for SSL, choose HTTPS; otherwise choose 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
```

When you have entered all the information, click Next.

Enter information about the Access Manager host.

The web agent will connect to this server.

Primary Server Host: Enter the fully qualified domain name (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 host exists, then leave this field blank.

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

Failover Console Deployment URI: Enter the location that was specified when console was installed. The default URI for Access Manager is /amconsole. If no failover 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).

CDSSO Enabled: Do not check this box. Cross domain single sign-on is not supported on Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4. For more information see Information Specific to Agent for IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.4.

After entering all the information, click Next.

Review the installation summary to ensure that the information you’ve entered is correct.

If you want to make changes, click Back. If all the information is correct, click Next.
