This topic describes the deployment of InTrust agents with native methods on supported platforms. For details about transparent automatic deployment, see Getting Started with InTrust; for details about batch deployment on InTrust sites, see the Deployment Guide.
Agents should be deployed manually under the following (or similar) circumstances:
To install an agent manually, run the ADC_AGENT.*.*.*.*.msi installation package from the DVD\Agent folder on the InTrust DVD on the target computer.
|
Note: If turned on, User Access Control (UAC) may prevent installation package from running properly. To avoid possible problems, the installation package should be run in an elevated context (use the Run as Administrator command). |
If the DVD is unavailable, complete the following steps:
cd
to this folder and run the following command:adcscm.nt_intel -install
The agent starts automatically after installation is complete.
To uninstall the agent, use the Add/Remove Programs facility. However, if the agent was installed through the command prompt, run the following command on the target computer:adcscm.nt_intel -uninstall
|
Note: Installing an agent does not make it usable by the server, but only prepares it (unpacks installation files, starts services, etc.). Please make sure that you establish a connection with the desired server (see Establishing a Connection with the Server). |
Agents must always be deployed manually on these computers. To install an agent, complete the following steps:
Copy one of the following agent installation files to a local folder on the target computer:
./adcscm_package.solaris_intel.pkg—for a computer running on the Intel platform
./adcscm_package.solaris_sparc.pkg—for a computer running on the Sparc platform
If you use a protocol with text and binary modes for copying (for example, FTP), make sure the mode is set to binary before the copying starts.
Run the following command to install the agent:
pkgadd -d Path
Replace Path
with the full path to the agent installation file you copied in Step 2.
The following packages are available:
1 ADCAgent Quest InTrust Agent
(i386.i86pc) 1.0
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 1
You will be prompted to supply the path to the directory where the agent will be installed:
Enter path to package base directory [?,q]
Enter the installation path.
This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-
user permission during the process of installing this package.
Do you want to continue with the installation of <ADCAgent> [y,n,?]
Installation of <ADCAgent> was successful.
Make sure that you have enough disk space for the event cache, which is located in /var/InTrust by default. You can change the location by editing the agent.ini file located in the directory where you install the agent. If you want to make agent configuration changes, you must complete them before you establish a connection with the InTrust server.

This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-
user permission during the process of removing this package.
Do you want to continue with the removal of this package [y,n,?,q]
Enter Y to confirm.
After the process is complete, the following message will be displayed:
Removal of <ADCAgent> was successful.

Note: The agent is a 32-bit application. If you have a 64-bit system, make sure that 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed if you have one of the following 64-bit systems:
The required packages on these systems are glibc.i686 and libuuid.i686. Debian requires libc6:i386 and libuuid1:i386. |
Agents must always be deployed manually on Linux computers. To install an agent, complete the following steps:
Start the script:
./adcscm_package.linux_intel.sh
You will be prompted to supply the path to the installation directory.
After the installation, the agent will be started automatically.
Make sure that you have enough disk space for the event cache, which is located in /var/InTrust by default. You can change the location by editing the agent.ini file located in the directory where you install the agent. If you want to make agent configuration changes, you must complete them before you establish a connection with the InTrust server.
