How to install the Linux InTrust Agent

Running adcscm_package.linux_intel.sh the installer throws an error : /opt/InTrustAgent/getmessage: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

The agent is a 32-bit application. If you have a 64-bit system, make sure that 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed 

The required packages on these systems are glibc.i686 and libuuid.i686.

Agents must always be deployed manually on Linux computers. To install an agent, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the target computer under the root account. If you log in via telnet, log in using a normal account and then use the su command.
2. Copy the adcscm_package.linux_intel.sh installation script to a local folder on the target computer. 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.

3. 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.

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 connection with the desired server (see Establishing a Connection with the Server). Uninstalling the agent does not automatically unregister it from InTrust servers. To uninstall the agent, run the following script from the agent's working directory: ./Uninstall.sh
