(Conditional) Create a valid agent profile in Access Manager Console if one has not already been created.

Web agents can function without the creation of an agent profile. However, creating an agent profile provides greater security. Furthermore, the creation of an agent profile is necessary when cross domain single sign-on (CDSSO) is configured with Access Manager. For information on how to create an agent profile, see Chapter 5, The Relationship Between the Agent Profile and Web Agents in Policy Agent 2.2.

To avoid a misconfiguration of the agent, ensure that you know the exact ID and password used to create the agent profile. You must enter the agent profile password correctly in the next step and you must enter the agent profile ID correctly when installing the agent.

Create a text file and add the agent profile password to that file.

Ensure that this file is located in a secure directory of your choice. You will refer to this file during the agent installation process.

With the agent profile password in this file, stored in a secure location, you do not need to enter sensitive information in the console. A valid password file can have only one line that contains the agent profile password.

Unpack the product binaries
```
unzip web-server-version_agent.zip
```
where web-server-version is a placeholder for the name of the .zip file. This file name is derived by combining an abbreviation of the agent name with an abbreviation of the respective platform.
